Editorial Review: Description: Academy Award-winner Mark Peploe delivers a terrifying and haunting psychological tale inw hich all of the frightening circumstances of childhood, both real and imagined, are heightened to extremes. A madman is attacking blind people in their homes, and a small boy with disintegrating eyesight begins his own secret investigation into the brutal assaults. When he finally identifies the monster responsible for the chilling crimes, he finds himself face to face with something that everybody understands... the fear of the unknown. - Starring James Fox (CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, PERFORMANCE), Fanny Ardant (CALLAS FOREVER, 8 WOMEN), Paul McGann (TV''s "Horatio Hornblower" and "Doctor Who"), David Thewlis (NAKED, HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN), Catriona MacColl (THE BEYOND, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD) - "Chilling!" -Janet Maslin, New York Times - "One of the nastiest little psychothrillers around." -Mirabella - "Genuine terror... Gripping!" -John Anderson, Newsday Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Entertaining, but not REALLY scary...Modest little film that communicates all of its developments well ahead of time.

It definitely kept me off balance and was unpredictable, if not pretty disturbing. I will never pick up my knitting needles again without thinking of this movie. Strange how familiar objects and sounds take on an entirely different meaning in this boy's world. Rating: - Three Blind MiceThis was a film with a great premise with a first half that showed amazing promise. Immediately we're told a slasher is targeting the blind and introduced to a strange boy and his sightless mother and rigid policeman father. Though uncertain who the criminal is we get the impression a young repairman working at a blind institute whistling ironic songs can't have good intentions. The parallel between killer and young protagonist is made early on with the boy covering alot of stalker ground: ...

Nice touch: beautiful blind woman has no clue how incredibly sexy she is. Browse for similar items by category:
