Review of Sightless

Sightless (2020)
2/10
Lazy rip-off of "The Eye".
22 January 2021
Sightless is a 2020 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Cooper Karl, based on his 2017 short film of the same name. The film stars Madelaine Petsch and Alexander Koch.

After a vicious attack leaves a young woman blind, she must fight back to escape her new reality in which people are not who they seem to be.

First off, this movie is just plain dull & boring. The cinematography is flat and un-involving and the acting ranges from wooden to terrible, mostly thanks to Madeleine Petsch, who I've always thought is the worst actor on Riverdale. She's completely unconvincing as the lead here. Secondly, this movie is a blatant rip off of "The Eye", down to the main character used to be a musician. The story asks us to suspend our disbelief, it's just plain far-fetched nonsense - the scares are rubbish and things just happen and then the story moves on to something else, almost as if parts have been cut from a longer film. This is one of the worst movies I've seen so far this year, everything from the dialogue to the writing is just plain terrible. Don't waste your time on this one.
