See for Me

Modernized rehash of better films , even so , It would be o' k ,if only the main character wasn't so annoying and unpleasant. All gimmick about blind or deaf people in life or death situations based on the incredible and scary vulnerability , when you try to put yourself in their shoes . Here , the heroine is so stubborn , dumb and rude that you feel just kind of disgust , hence this film doesn't' work...

The lead character was so thoroughly dislikable I actually was rooting for the baddie at the end. Don't waste your time, I should've turned off much sooner.

A very good premise ridiculed to oblivion,it's not a bad movie just corny & irritatingly unrealistic ,way over the top,a different direction could've saved it.

In spite of all the bad reviews I decide to watch his film anyway. What a mistake! I've seen thousands of films during my lifetime and I've never seen a film with such an unlikable protagonist. The main character in this film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. She treats everyone including family, friends and strangers alike with equal disrespect and contempt. Yes I realize she's blind, But that's not excuse for her crappy behavior. I was actually rooting for her to be killed off that's how bad she was. I don't know if her character was written this way or if the actor playing us just that obnoxious. Stay away from this film.

"Hush"! I heard a better version is on Netflix. And "Don't Breathe" on...any other platform.

There. I gave you my recommendation. See "Don't Breathe" or "Hush" instead of "See for Me." But, if you feel the need for a triple feature some night, fine, you can include this. But, only because I can't think of another movie this is hyper-similar to.

Our incredibly unlikeable hero of the story is blind and somehow always manages to get around an unfamiliar house where she's cat-sitting and not be seen, for the most part, by three robber intruders. Even more unbelievable, she's holding her phone with the flashlight on while she's talking with a "See for Me" video chat service that helps blind people see in unfamiliar locations. And the robbers still can't track down this victim.

The person on the other end of the "See for Me" service is the only likable character and totally reminded me of Brooke Langton way back on Melrose Place. Not to mention, the lead totally reminded me of a much younger Sarah Polley. But, that's neither here nor there.

This plot is absurd and unrealistic at best, and littered with way too many plot holes at worst. And that lead character we're supposed to root for is so bad and unpleasant, you really only root for Not-Brooke Langton and she's thousands of miles away.

This is on Shudder and I love Shudder. But this REALLY feels like a D-grade Netflix thriller.

Final Thoughts: Yeah, I have to go here: Like the blind lead, don't see this movie.
