Don't Blink

All things considered this isn't a bad film, the acting is good, sets and locations are stunning, cinematography is brilliant and the script has some legitimately hilarious lines in it that will have you (if you're like me) barking out a laugh. The pace is steady, and it's not too complicated or cluttered with superfluous bits and pieces thrown in to bulk it up. I also like the way (however predictable some may be) that they had people disappearing. It was clever, good camera and effects work, subtle and understated but still impressive.

Now to the negative... Despite the build of tension and the myriad of questions the films raises, don't hold out much hope for any answers. You won't get any. Maybe this was a deliberate effort because they're intending a sequel (I would be more than happy to watch that, and I don't often vote for sequels) or maybe this is a Nolan-esque leaving it to your imagination ending. Whatever the answer, it's a rather frustrating to come away empty handed. If this is left open ended in this way for a sequel don't fret, it's not one of those obvious "And we are clearly setting this up for the sequel TAKE THAT SUCKERS!" type deals. Much more subtle than that.

All in all I have to say it was a pretty good film that held my attention in a way a lot of films of late fail to do, and I'd recommend watching it if you're bored or the idea the films posits interests you. But don't get as mad as some reviewers on here if it's not a 10/10 masterpiece of cinema gold. It is what it is, don't expect the most breathtaking piece of cinema known to man that answers all of the questions you have about life, death and why we're here.

So I've decided to watch this movie because it seemed quite interesting with a bit of a mystery and a slight of horror!!It starts off as the usual group of people going to stay at a motel in the middle of nowhere!Really weird things are starting to happen, as one by one are starting to disappear.The whole idea of the movie is really interesting but it doesn't wrap very well during the end unfortunately.Brian Austin was good, so is the other cast,Mena Suvari has a brief role and that's about it! This could easily be one good episode of the Twilight Zone because it has many elements that makes u think that!Nevertheless i do recommend it because it's different, not predictable but the cons is that it has a weak end and doesn't really explain the situation.Cheers!

Once again I am surprised by the low rating of this movie, it seems like something standard, giving few points to horror movies. This one is very different, it's a good tense horrish mystery thriller. All in all, the story begins somewhat slowly and is the typical story of a group of young adults looking for tranquility in a house in the countryside. It's still interesting, especially if the acting and the dialogue are good, and here they are.

There is a question that resonates the most in my head during the movie, what responsibility do we have towards our friends? If you will disappear in the next hour or two? Especially when the entire group is so different personality-wise, some want one thing and others another. As the film evolves you will realize that the dialogues are impetuous and are quite realistic. The increasing tension between the characters and a fear of the unknown.

You definitely shouldn't miss it, and I was surprised not to have seen it until now, as a fan of the genre.

After looking at the review overall score I was somewhat doubting whether to watch this film but I decided to give it a shot and make my own mind up..... not disappointed.

It's not a film that will give you all the answers you want but it's certainly a film that will make you guess what's coming next. It's not a gore fest or typical horror, more like a twilight-zone-esque type film....

I'm not going to say much as the beauty in the film is not knowing..... just give it a try and maybe, like me, you won't be disappointed... whatever you do though, don't blink.

I profess myself a horror movie junkie. Especially for atmospheric, stereotyped, low budget movies. This meets all requirements. Rather than relying on blood and gore to frighten, this is all about atmosphere and watching closely (in fact, I had to rewind and watch one scene all over to see what I missed the first time). Typically, I don't balk at horror movie stereotypes (after all, the simplicity of the genre is part of its charm), but here they were...off. The director gave characters who were clearly mid to late 30s the typical stereotypes of young twenty-somethings. That took a bit of getting used to, but if you can ignore it, then the atmosphere and mystery and tension are all well done. The main reason for the 7 is the huge omission of why we watch movies. There is a reason there's a nice plot triangle (introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, conclusion). I was thoroughly involved throughout the falling action...and then credits. What? It seems laziness and, in a way, a waste of my 90 minutes when a full part of the plot structure is omitted.
