Double Blind

I watched it recently and didn't expect much from the movie, but it was fairly decent. I enjoyed most of it, of course there are some shortcomings, but in the end i was pleasantly surprise. Main actress is believable but some of the supporting cast could do better. You get invested nonetheless by the story, which tackle some interesting point about some current issue in our society. Visually there is some interesting scene. Good suspense, some jump scare as well. Definitely a small budget movie, but it's good to see one that is done with love. We need more small movie like that, instead of the plethora of uninspired blockbusters. I give it an 8 to bump up the score, otherwise i think it's like a good 7. A good watch for horror/ suspense movie fan.

The idea of medical trials going wrong is not new. Maniac, Tell me how I Die, Inhumane, Altered Perception are examples and all in the last ten years. But this was way more watchable. This was actually good.

The characters were believable. There was no identity politics. The script and plot kept bouncing along nicely. I felt invested in the characters and their motivations and traits. And lastly, their actions made logical sense.

I liked the 'warped' reality of their psychosis due to sleep deprivation. And the ending rounded things off quite nicely.

The production values and direction were good enough.

Overall, I would recommend checking this out.

I like horror movies that spark with new ideas about what the heck is happening. Of course it is not a 7 stars type production, but it is definitely a solid 6, however I decided to add 1 star for the freaking new topic and making a way inside the harsh reality of productions of horrors these days.

The movie was solid interesting and gave me small vibes of "cube" type mysteries. Definitely a must see for a horror movie fans, and believe me, it may be difficult to watch in the middle of the night - because of the topic - it is slightly more challenging than usual horror movies.

In any way - lift away - Double Blind -is a movie.

A double-blind study is one in which neither the participants nor the experimenters know who is receiving a particular treatment. This procedure is utilized to prevent bias in research results...

The runtime is a crisp 1 hour and 30 minutes, which means it gets down to business fairly fast and stays on track...When your mind starts playing tricks on you, things can get scary fast...

With just a few solid character & an uncomfortable atmosphere this flick keeps us in a deep fried mode or so called mood with the writing playing a major role that's visible in every frame...

Overall this "Double Blind is an effective little thriller with will keep you on the edge of your seat, and keep your eyes open"

Note : Not intended for going a detailed review as one needs to experience this little hidden gem...

This was a fairly decent movie with a concept that has been done before. It's an interesting story and as a financially struggling student I can put myself in this situation where you would sacrifice your body and take unknown drugs for a good amount of money.

The production value is decent, you can tell that it's not a big Hollywood production but it's also not a small indie movie either. The acting was fine but not outstanding and it was nice to see Pollyanna McIntosh as Dr. Burke even though I think her character was underutilized. As a seasoned horror fan I can say that this movie was overall pretty average and not really outstanding. There's not too much happening and it is ironic that I had to fight against falling asleep while watching a movie where the characters are not allowed to sleep either. Some people might enjoy this more than others but I think this is just an average flick and I will probably have forgotten about it in about a month. [5,3/10]
