Is there a better way to spend Valentine's Day than with the lovely Sarah French? Sadly, and I hate to inform you, she is not saying the same about you. Nevertheless we have a twisted love story that will prove to be one of the most horrific tales containing hearts, sparkles, and a sultry damsel in much distress. Today we look at 2019's "Blind," directed by Marcel Walz. If you thought "My Bloody valentine" was scary, this heart and love filled tale will give you ten times more nightmares. Remember, in your darkest and hardest trials...you are never alone. This Sarah French film will explain the down side of that adage to us.
The sultry actress Faye Dayne (French) is adjusting to a new life. The actress has recently become blind, ending her career. Her best buddy Sophia (Caroline Williams) is Heaven sent and really helps her along. Faye now joins a support group for blind souls. The group is led by the hunk Luke (Tyler Gallant). Luke is mute and speaks with the assistance of a device on his phone. Yep...he's hot for her. Sophie tries to get Faye to give him a shot. Okay...no jokes. Uh oh...a terrifying and surreal plot device is introduced. In a lair filled with lights, sparkles, and valentine balloons a twisted soul (Jed Rowen) pines for Faye. Who is this guy? Nothing we see indicates that he is benevolent. In fact, now we fear for our blonde protagonist even though she has no clue this evil lurks nearby.
Faye does her best to cope and adjust. Sadly, this is difficult and does not seem to be going well. Realizations are driven home and now Faye starts believing her life is not over, there are happy years ahead, and she does indeed want to go on. The monster lurking nearby then gets violent. Blood and guts will be on display as the fiend gets closer to Faye. What does the killer want? The monster will invade Faye's intimate privacy, watch her shower, dress, and hear her cry and plead. Faye has no idea of the carnage that is and has taken place nearby as the monster's infatuation gets more aggressive. Where does this all lead? Arguably the most horrific last 10 minutes in cinema in the last 20 years,
No actress has appeared on this blog more than Sarah French. Like me, you will desperately want her to overcome the fiend that has entered her life. If anything, this film will prod you to embrace the one you love more than anything in the world and profess your love to her. "My Bloody Valentine" had a pickaxe..."Blind" has something more intimate...and alas something more horrific. See "Blind" (okay, sorry...did not mean for it to come out that way), and I guarantee you will be talking about the ending until next Valentine's Day.
