I found this movie while channel surfing and trying to find something to watch. I'm a fan of old movies so I thought why not. I'm not a fan of war movies at all, but boredom will do strange things to you... I'm so glad I put the movie on! I was so engrossed within the first few moments, something that rarely happens. It's more than just the story of a man blinded in the war and his learning to navigate his way in the world again. It's the story of a man who didn't learn to see until he lost his eyesight. I won't spoil it by going further on that... Not only did I love this movie, but I told my mother (also an old movie buff) and she watched it when it was aired again. She was also hooked! So if you're also a lover of old movies, it's worth a watch. You won't be disappointed!

At first, I wasn't sure about this movie. It seemed odd and I found the ailment of the children a bit ludicrous. Not that people don't suffer from it, but both children having the same rare ailment is a bit far fetched. But if you can look past that and continue watching, you soon get drawn into the story. It seems like your normal, creepy haunted house story, but the more you watch, the more hints that are dropped, you start to wonder if this movie is more than that. What I enjoyed best were the twists that you never see coming. Think "The Sixth Sense"... If you enjoyed that movie, you'll love this one. A must see for those who like a mind f**k more than gore.
