A horror movie with a story and characters you actually care about. That is rare these days. I recommend this.

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2016)

"It's kind of messed up to rob a blind guy, isn't it?" Rocky (Levy) and her friends want to get out of Detroit and are willing to do anything they can to make this happen. After robbing houses for very little money they decide to go for broke. Their mark is an old veteran (Lange)who has $300,000 in his house. When they find out he is blind they think it will be easy, but this is no ordinary blind man. This is a movie that could have gone two ways. Super cheesy and cliché, or tense and original. For me, this was the latter. This is not a typical horror movie in the way that it is not full of random jump scares or possessions. This is also, thankfully, not a "found- footage" or Saw type horror where it relies on gore to scare you. This is movie a more tense Purge-like movie. 4 people are trapped inside a house where being the last one standing is the only way out. This movie does add more and more suspense and, surprises to keep it feeling fresh. The best part of this movie though it that, unlike most recent horror, there is an actual story and character development. That aspect makes you question and wonder who you should root for. That extra layer really makes this movie work and is one of the better horror movies I have seen in the last few years. Overall, a horror movie with a story and characters you actually care about. That is rare these days. I surprisingly give this a B+.
