Featured reviews
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.

Why this low rating ? Has the pharmaceutical industry been triggered?! This is much better than i expected. A good scifi thriller with horror elements. There is some creativity here. It tried to be original and different even though i can't say it succeeded. But it's not a failure either. It's interesting, not a second wasted, it kept my attention until the ending. First half was better than the second, truth is, it promised more than it delivered. And it ended abruptly, like thay ran out of money, or they didn't know how to end it properly. But overall, it's enjoyable and the biggest quality here is acting : Always a pleasure to watch Millie Brady (THE LAST KINGDOM). The other actors were good but Brady carried the movie on her shoulders.
Not a MUST WATCH, but a solid scifi thriller for the fans of this genre.

At a tidy 90 minutes, this film is a great way to spend a night. I knew very little about it going in, and I was pleasantly surprised that it blended several genres pretty seamlessly. It wasn't a simple one note kitschy movie, although it certainly could have been with the general plot line.
It goes beyond the premise of the sleep trial to build characters and tensions between them in times of stress and dire need, even outside of somewhat silly premises as this one. The premise makes it a fun ride though, and kudos to the actors and director for taking it so seriously and making a thriller, suspense movie with mystery and horror thrown in.
At the time of this writing, the average is 5.5, which is much too low. It's a 7.5 for me, but rounding up to help the average.

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]

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.
