ortracr 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!

Leofwine_draca DON'T BLINK is a semi-decent cabin-in-the-woods horror flick about a group of buddies who go for a weekend break only to find the log cabin hotel they're staying in mysteriously deserted. The film plays out very much as a feature-length version of a TWILIGHT ZONE or OUTER LIMITS story, as the characters react in different ways to their predicament and some of them go predictably over the edge. It's generally watchable enough, evoking a good sense of mystery, even if the characters remain unlikeable and the script descends into sweary repetitiveness towards the climax. The non-ending is a bit of a cheat, too (don't go looking for answers as you won't find any).

J M IRISH Human existence and the inevitability of non existence...the ultimate ax killer in the cupboard slashing around with no mind or reason....Good concept as a movie, but poorly conceived by the makers. I watched this and imagined what Bunuel or Pasolini could do with this production team had there been a mind to create rather than follow the norms of Hollywood. Drama relied too much on music, and the characters Stereotypes. Major flaw , to me anyway, was lack of cultural,social,political context. This left the movie empty of a generic soul. And more cans gathering dusk on film archive shelves ready to fill the commercial screens of cable horror channels many years hence.

LovingMoviesSince98 So I was pondering through Netflix after watching a few episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when I decided I was in the mood for a good low-star-rated horror movie. I was going through my list that's filled with several crappy B-horror movies and I decided to watch Don't Blink. I remember adding it to my list because it had the actress who played Jenna in the U.S. version of the show, Wilfred (Fiona Gubelmann). So that's what I did.The movie was great. This is a perfect example of paranoia horror. It's almost like the stuff of nightmares. As a matter of fact, that is EXACTLY what this movie is. I can even prove it to you.When I was about eight years old, I had a dream where I was in this crowded public place with my mom. We saw from a little ways of a distance there was a red button on the wall. I was afraid to press it, not knowing what would happen. Somehow though, I managed to gain the courage to hug my mom, walk straight up to the button, and press it. Immediately after pressing the mysterious red button, I quickly spun around to see tons of passers-by carrying out with their business. My mom was nowhere in sight. I was alone.And I was scared sh**less.This movie reminded me of that nightmare and then I became intrigued. I absolutely LOVE it when horror movies do that. Remind me of personal nightmares. I can tell you all about it in my review for It Follows. True horror comes from the place we fear the most: our own imaginations. Which actually leads me up to another reason as to why I adore this movie so much.I noticed this film has a low rating on both Netflix and IMDb. I read a few of the reviews on this site to see why that is and it was exactly why I had expected it to be.One review had stated that the major flaw with this movie was the ambiguity it had left when the director's name appeared on the screen. It just had this huge build-up that kept taking its time to elaborate at a suspenseful pace that would just lead to....nothing. Questions were left unanswered as it left the ending completely open. That's the problem people have. They were never given the answers they were looking for. But if you really think about it, that's the great thing about this movie. It never explains itself. It leaves it to the imaginations of the viewers watching. I was really hoping this movie would do that...and it did!!Of course there's going to be people wanting the answers to everything. So if you're that type of person, this movie might not be your cup of tea. But if you're into a good mystery like myself, you will enjoy this movie.Rating: 9/10
