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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
