Never Blink

The story is not that bad. Editing, acting is below average. Looks like some college students did this movie as a project. Camera angles were not in the right place.

From the minute 21 to the minute 23 of the movie you could see the actors trying to act the movie not feel the movie script. To add some feel to acting I guess the director added some cussing words. From the minute 24 to 27 ish, the scene at stairs goes fast or the standing of actors is not well positioned that you could tell or see is bad.

First of all, the concept is incredible. Everything else is second to that, because an incredible concept sticks in your mind for ages after you watch something. I've had Never Blink on my mind for days, and came back to write this review. Sure, the budget isn't the highest, but plenty of cult classics have gotten by on less. Most of the bad reviews on here seem to be from people who are more scared of a diverse cast than they are of the actual horror, which is pathetic and not the movie's fault. If you want a fascinating, suspenseful, and intense watch with plenty of sick action moments, you should check out 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.

While I had indeed never heard about this 2025 horror movie titled "Never Blink", I will say that the movie's cover was interesting enough to make me stop and take notice. And with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to check out what directors Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth had to offer.

Writers Christopher Saint Booth, Philip Adrian Booth and Ami Orava didn't exactly deliver a stellar script here. The narrative was slow paced and sluggish, and there just simply wasn't enough of anything interesting to keep me interested. I felt my attention span wane from the movie several times throughout the course of the 113 minutes that the movie ran for.

The young cast members that were supposed to be medical students, just didn't really have a believable medical student vibe to them, and that made it rather difficult to take them serious in those roles.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, which was actually something that spoke in favor of the movie, as I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar talents on the screen. The acting performances were fair, though hardly something to write home about.

"Never Blink" looks and felt like an ambitious low budget horror movie.

Now, the movie plays for 113 minutes, nearly two hours. So it is nearly two hours of general boredom. And it was quite a struggle to sit through. So the movie would have benefitted tremendously from a more round-handed trim in post editing.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand. The light-up goggles that the so-called medical students wore, well they were from Wish or AliExpress. I have a pair just like them that I bought off of AliExpress for my son.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the movie. A sad fact, but a true fact.

My rating of "Never Blink" lands on a most generous three out of ten stars.

Never Blink experiments with a fresh idea packaged in classic low budget horror. Look, this is not a slick blockbuster. But, it isn't trying to be. It's opening the doors to a new world; a world I really hope gets further explored in other works with bigger budgets.

Never Blink delivers some classic low budget horror tropes and gore but if you unwrap that, there's a really smart and novel premise at the core: tons of fuel for future scifi and horror content if a bigger budget gets clearance to play with the concept.

Sometimes it actually felt "too smart" conceptually for the layperson, in the vein of Primer, which is maybe a bit misaligned from the occasional corniness and campiness also in the film, common to B horror movies.

Still, it's super unique and creative, and if you watch with an open mind and not expecting to see the next Oscar winner, it's a fun time. I really hope to see this idea expanded. The universe it creates definitely has a mountain of marketing and transmedia content potential.
