Writer Anthony Jaswinski hasn't loads of film 'hits' under his belt, but he did score Director Brad Anderson who executes films in magically artistic ways; you may recall some of his work like 'The Machinist' starring Christian Bale, 'Session 9', or his most recent this year 'The Call' starring Halle Berry. Jaswinski also managed to pull together a star cast on this 2010 Horror/Mystery/Thriller which included, Canadian heart-throb Hayden Christensen, English Thandie Newton, Colombian John Leguizamo and talented American new-comer Jacob Latimore. With that line-up alone, it's enough to bring in a decent amount of viewers to take a blind plunge.
Blind indeed.
A run-time of 92 minutes, most of which is in darkness and flickering light, its hearty budget of $10 million USD couldn't even save it, as they grossed little over $22 thousand back. Although clever premise and phenomenal acting that was delivered, the audience although initially drawn in, had their intrigue quickly diminished due to not solid enough information and non-satisfying ending.
Reminiscent of many movies, however gladly few different twists. This film had potential with great direction, great actors and great budget, but dismally fell short due to it's disappointing turn of events not to mention insufficient material and smarts to give the audience a believable inkling of what exactly what was taking place.
