The bashers are at it again...

Don't open your eyes has its flaws, that's for sure. Lots of them, from too-heavy accents to pacing issues to the composed music drowning out the dialogue. If you look past that, though, it is a very creepy diamond in the rough. Watching it reminded me of when I first read Stephen King's Gramma, it felt like it drew inspiration directly from that. Needless to say, Gramma freaked me out, so naturally, this freaked me out too. It takes a very long time for the supernatural aspects to come into play but when it finally does happen, it's all kinds of spooky, and the last 30 minutes or so are one hell of a ride. Those that so boldly claim that it's the worst film they've seen or utter trash have clearly never seen an Uwe Boll or Tom Six movie or anything in that vicinity. This film lacks polish, has some issues, but aside from that, it was a very pleasant surprise, and I wholeheartedly recommend it above some other mainstream horror films.
