Blindness
As the mysterious white blindness spreads to infect the general population, the newly blind are quarantined in a mental facility. With little food and no outside care, the strong begin to prey on the weak as conditions become extremely ugly. This dark and dreary film is very hard to watch. See how cruel man can be to his fellow man. See how vulnerable the blind are. See how demeaningly the women are treated. All of the whiteouts, the blackouts, and out of focus shots, are they artistic or just annoying? This is a beautifully crafted film filled with some shocking and repulsive scenes that you may have wished you had never seen. Will civilization crumble or survive? Alien recommends you look for something more positive for your entertainment value.
Alien gives it 1 ½ "sea of whiteness" stars out of 4.
