Never Blink

This seems like it's gonna be a great movie for horror and sci-fi fans all around. I'm rating it a 7 as the trailer really caught my interest.

I know a few individuals who worked on this and they are raving. Not only because they worked on it but because they enjoyed doing it! Anything that's enjoyable usually is a great watch! I cannot wait for it to come out to all audiences around the world to see! B movies will always have a special place in my heart And this movie looks as if it'll really get the B movie train going again and the screams and creepiness is what WE WANT! Cannot wait to see it.

The concept of this film was intriguing. What other realities exist when we blink? However what the film started with, it quickly lost due to poor effects, silly dialogue, stilted acting and an absurd ending.

Some specifics: the make- up person should never work again; all the female characters had so much makeup on they looked like prostitutes. Characters blurt out lines that lack context. The adopted brother of the main researcher declares, "I am black and gay" without ever developing that story line further. The dream sequences are utterly slow and boring. The deep voice of the "monster" announces another killing where the victim never tries to escape. In one scene a nurse, soon to be victim, enters her locked car then realizes she "dropped" her keys about 20 feet away. The film is loaded with over and under acting, bad effects, implausable plot twists, and ludicrous tag lines "say hello to your f@@@ing offspring" In the end, a very original premise was destroyed by a bad script, bad directing, bad acting, bad visual effects, and bad execution. I wanted to blink, hoping that this film would disappear. Sadly, it didn't.

I Have awarded five stars, which to be honest is more than generous, and is mainly for the really original premiss. After reading the synopsis I was so excited to watch this. Unfortunately it was badly let down by some below average acting, very hammy dialogue and more plot holes than a gopher ridden garden. To be fair, this was clearly not a highly budgeted effort, and did well with what it had, but could have, and should have been so much better. But the idea of seeing what you can't see when you blink, and that is something awful, is intriguing. Casting played a big part in the failure of this, many of the actors did not fit their roles. The lead female was just way too young, and did not have the gravitas for the part. Would love to see a budgeted remake.

I was skeptical at first, but wow, this a fun, visual and interesting horror movie with a fresh concept mixing horror, multiverses and good ole fashioned terror and gore. Great soundtrack and imagery highlight this film with cool creatures and a sexy strong female lead that kicks ass. Tatjana is rising star as I enjoyed her role in Monsters of Man. And Dr. Conrad was very cool too. I think the film could have been shorter but the film does offer a lot character development and theory behind the multiverse world. There are some funny and cute parts that were also enjoyable and the creature was super cool. In summary is this film perfect? No but it's nice to see a indie horror film do something different instead of the old haunted house/slasher scenario. I thoroughly enjoyed it..

Never Blink is a psychological thriller that combines mystery, horror, and sci-fi in a unique way. The premise of an alternate universe when you blink is a novel concept that blends both fact and fiction in a way that always keeps you guessing what happens next. The cast performances are solid overall but as others have noted, there are a few stereotypical characters and lines. I would definitely like to see the idea expanded or redone with a bigger budget. While the film may not be for everyone - especially those who prefer neatly tied up endings - Never Blink certainly delivers a memorable, thought provoking, and haunting experience.
