I first watched this movie in the theatre when it was released. Since then I've rewatched several times and the movie has never lost its impact on our fright quotient. Each time, it works effectively to drive tensions sky high. Well cast with some of the best ever actors Audrey Hepburn excels at becoming the character so convincing we believe it is real. Well written story which does not need to resort to unbelievable horror scenarios to frighten. The viewer smoothly begins to identify with the challenge of blindness. This movie rarely, if ever, shows up on Best Movie lists, but it does belong high in the list.
No it's not the best but it does deliver a basketful of laughs. Jamie Lee Curtis always does a good job even though we've seen her do this many times. Same for Danny Devito. Casey Affleck was barely interesting like this was his first go around. Pretty much all the others were good to okay but not great. Will Farrell was awful and the one bad casting choice. Bert Midler can't do poorly but this is the only kind of role for that loud mouth. The story is 85% predicable. Funniest of all was the set up with every car except the trucks being a Yugo because the choice location for introducing Yugo to the American market.
