Never Blink

I was skeptical at first, but wow, this a fun, visual and interesting horror movie with a fresh concept mixing horror, multiverses and good ole fashioned terror and gore. Great soundtrack and imagery highlight this film with cool creatures and a sexy strong female lead that kicks ass. Tatjana is rising star as I enjoyed her role in Monsters of Man. And Dr. Conrad was very cool too. I think the film could have been shorter but the film does offer a lot character development and theory behind the multiverse world. There are some funny and cute parts that were also enjoyable and the creature was super cool. In summary is this film perfect? No but it's nice to see a indie horror film do something different instead of the old haunted house/slasher scenario. I thoroughly enjoyed it..

The concept of this film was intriguing. What other realities exist when we blink? However what the film started with, it quickly lost due to poor effects, silly dialogue, stilted acting and an absurd ending.

Some specifics: the make- up person should never work again; all the female characters had so much makeup on they looked like prostitutes. Characters blurt out lines that lack context. The adopted brother of the main researcher declares, "I am black and gay" without ever developing that story line further. The dream sequences are utterly slow and boring. The deep voice of the "monster" announces another killing where the victim never tries to escape. In one scene a nurse, soon to be victim, enters her locked car then realizes she "dropped" her keys about 20 feet away. The film is loaded with over and under acting, bad effects, implausable plot twists, and ludicrous tag lines "say hello to your f@@@ing offspring" In the end, a very original premise was destroyed by a bad script, bad directing, bad acting, bad visual effects, and bad execution. I wanted to blink, hoping that this film would disappear. Sadly, it didn't.

Never Blink is a psychological thriller that combines mystery, horror, and sci-fi in a unique way. The premise of an alternate universe when you blink is a novel concept that blends both fact and fiction in a way that always keeps you guessing what happens next. The cast performances are solid overall but as others have noted, there are a few stereotypical characters and lines. I would definitely like to see the idea expanded or redone with a bigger budget. While the film may not be for everyone - especially those who prefer neatly tied up endings - Never Blink certainly delivers a memorable, thought provoking, and haunting experience.

This film is smart. I enjoyed the science behind it. I actually looked into it myself, and I must say: the writers did their research! We really do lose time when we blink. I am the type of viewer that enjoys original concepts. The idea that something out there is waiting for you in a dimension that interacts with us in between the blinks is pretty creepy. This is an idea that grabbed my interest instantly!

The poster is also catching and it drew me in. Kudos to whoever did the marketing! The cast is very diverse (which I love). The monster was dark and I know that this a low budget film, but I enjoyed the universe thoroughly! Don't get me wrong, there was definitely room for improvement. There is only so much you can do with low budget production, and I feel it in my bones that if the producers had the cash, this movie would be a box office hit!

First of all, the concept is incredible. Everything else is second to that, because an incredible concept sticks in your mind for ages after you watch something. I've had Never Blink on my mind for days, and came back to write this review. Sure, the budget isn't the highest, but plenty of cult classics have gotten by on less. Most of the bad reviews on here seem to be from people who are more scared of a diverse cast than they are of the actual horror, which is pathetic and not the movie's fault. If you want a fascinating, suspenseful, and intense watch with plenty of sick action moments, you should check out Never Blink.
