This movie was OK.

They aimed it at the wrong age group.

It was alright. Some pretty effective moments.

Well the adds pretty much targeted it to teenagers, but teenagers are so goddamn stupid now, they would have not liked it if they had seen it. (No explosions or tightly wrapped storyline packages that hold your hand and walk you through it) But if it had been targeted to a slightly older age group, it probably would have done much better at the box office.

I enjoyed it. Its an interesting mix of genres. While the actual mixing is not perfect, each piece makes sense to be there and is executed well.

a very good dvdscr here. no watermarks or b/w screens and english hardcoded for foreign spoken parts etc....

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4592324 ... om-Release)

no need to wait for a better version...


i have seen this one now and i was a bit dissapointed... nearly all of the movie is filmed in one room... more exploration of the dead city would have been better...

I liked it, but the end could be better... I think it´s a problem with most of the movies I watch this days, it´s not easy to come up with a good ending.

This movie is a blantant rip off of day of the triffids (minus the killer plants) a classic scifi book where all the entire population of england gose blind. Pretty much everythign in this film is from that book.

Still not bad all in all.. nice find doc. Personly I would have liked them to just make a triffid movie :)

i knew it, it was something but i couldnt put my finger on it before now.. yes its a triffids rip off without the plants..... anyway what i missed in blindness is more filming in the streets and people desperatly killing for food, eating dead people and people that havent lost their sigth being exploited by the blind or seeing people exploit the blind etc etc you folks know what i am talking about, that fight in the supermarked and that stuff was great(i was like -> hell yeah now it start, tear that woman to pieces you fuckers are starving... but nothing happen zzzZzz). more of post apocalyptic scenery, buildings and streets etc etc its alot of things that could be put into this one... filming in one building the half of the movie was a bit boring to be honest. if it only did have the stuff i mention it would have been so much better, it even could got away with the triffids rip off...

I agree greatly. But truly, every movie would be better with more cannibalism and tribalism.

Agreed. It's A Wonderful Life springs to mind.
