Cheesy and bad like a high school soap opera
mister_bateman14 May 2020
This movie is really stupid, in a way as if a teenager wrote it. I wouldn't even know where to begin listing all the issues and implausibilities with the plot as well as the characters. In short, if you're expecting a serious "Crime - Mystery - Thriller" like it says in the description here, you'll be a bit disappointed. The movie is a weird mix of cheesy high school romance elements and a rather shallow and unconvincing serial killer story, accompanied with some amateurish acting and at times quite cheap sounding music. It doesn't help that visually it looks a bit "low budget" too. Having said all that, the movie does have its charm and is not boring. It also gets a little bit more interesting towards the end. So if you can ignore all the problems and don't expect a masterpiece, you'll be entertained.

Not a thriller, story could be better

Warning: Spoilers
The serial killer's motive was never clear explained, acting was alright but what it lacks is the storyline itself. Director couldn't wait to expose the plot before any suspense build up, rather disappointing.

The usual flaws like the girl barely got away from chasing by a masked man, she conveniently walked the exact same alley on her way back hoping to have it happen again, she never yelled for help and stood still in the middle of the alley with her back facing the killer and call on her cell? Who does that? Also when the main character discovered the killer's hideout he walk ed straight in without calling the cops, also turned his back freely towards the killer asap when they knocked him over.

It is alright for killing time, but don't expect it to be a satisfying movie

Waste of time!

Not a masterpiece, this film is certainly a terrible horror film combined with a banal teenage film. It is very disappointing, because at the beginning you hardly feel the genre "mystery and thriller", except that some people die there. Towards the end it gets a little more interesting as the puzzle is resolved. But why the person was the serial killer is still a mystery.

The only stimulus to watch the film was the fact that the protagonist was a blind musician. The visual looked cheap too, and the acting arts a beginner's game. The love between them senseless and unrelated.
