Awful. Just awful. I've seen Riverdale (its my guilty pleasure, I know its bad) so I was interested to see Madelaine Petsch in a different acting role. Needless to say, I was far from impressed, though its more the directors fault than hers. If there even was a director. This movie was just a sloppy and messy attempt a psychological thriller.
The movie never fully went for anything. For example, they tried to show what Ellen (Madelaine Petsch) felt and how she misinterpreted many situations after losing her sight. I wish they would have gone full Black Swan with this by bringing the audience into the protagonists mind. They didn't. Instead we were somewhere in the middle waiting for her to figure out what anyone with two working braincells would know. It was exhausting.
You can see the plot twist coming from a mile away. The knocking thing the antagonist(s) did was so shoved in the audiences face you cant help but figure out the plot before the halfway point.
By the end I didn't feel scared, confused, happy, sad or angry. For a movie with such a dramatic colour scheme I expected it have a little more emotional impact. I felt nothing. Just disappointed.
Even though I watched this movie only a couple days ago, I'm struggling to remember what happened. The sole reason im writing this is in hopes of stopping others from making the same mistake I did. Please for the love of God dont waste your time on this.
