Unlike many movies in this genre, there is no supernatural, demonic creature that instills terror through it's appearance or special effects. There's some, but not an excessive amount of blood. Instead of the normal screams that most horror movies use to make your blood run cold, in this movie it's the silence that sends shivers down your spine. Similar to Agatha Christie's novel, "And Then There Were None" the original sense of safety in numbers, disappears as the cast is slowly whittled away. If you looking for a movie that allows YOU to do your own thinking, trying to decide what is taking place, being fed one tidbit at a time, rather than having everything forced down your throat, you should find this an enjoyable watch. Just don't watch it alone and might I suggest you handcuff or tie yourself to your partner, just in case you nod off or "BLINK" once too often!
... View MoreI do not demand "closure" with every film that I watch, but this thing is ridiculous.I don't like sitting through 90 minutes of a tedious flick, then being left with nothing. Yes, the director tossed a tiny "bone." The "government" knows wha's going on. Black car, etc.Just don't waste my time. And don't populate your entire film with a bunch of stupid white people.Zack Ward is an annoying actor, and apparently friends with the director, who WROTE the role for him?? Really?The screenplay is terrible.One of the streaming sites has a "trailer," which totally ruins the film - if it CAN be ruined.There is nothing genius, nor coy, about constructing a narrative, that has no conclusion. NOTE: Unless that outlying cabin has a HUGE boiler, the water would not continue to be "steaming hot," even minutes later. If animals disappear, you'd still hear noise. They show clouds moving - so WIND?? And since when do people drive to a remote destination, with no gas? Did they assume that the "lodge" has a gas pump? (And, OF COURSE, "antiquated" pumps.) . PLEASE.Seriously, there is no point to this film. It's a total mess.

View MoreAfter 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.
... View MoreSo I was just looking to waste some time this morning before I had to head out to an dentist appointment and I was scrolling around netflix and stumbled across this movie "Don't Blink". This group of people have reservations for a place to stay and when they arrive there is nobody to be found. Through out the movie people pretty much just disappear out of no where So to be honest this was a really dumb movie with a really dumb ending but it was good enough for me to keep watching. Don't expect anything good out of this movie but if your bored just looking for something to watch and you have no other choice then give it a shot. The acting is okay at best and the plot is pretty basic. The music helps make the movie more suspenseful. Its definitely not a movie that I would watch again but it wasn't bad for a first time. At the end of the day though this was a dumb movie. I gave it 4 stars because it was just barley good enough to keep me watching but I was wondering when something big was going to happen. Give it a try if your bored.
