Live Action Movie Review: Blindness

[ZombieHorde]

Country of origin: Various (Original language is English)

Year: 2008

Genre: Drama?

Story: A mysterious and highly contagious disease, which only seems to cause blindness, spreads throughout the city. The victims of this disease are placed into an un-staffed, quarantined hospital. The story follows a woman who is immune to the disease, but chooses to go to the un-staffed, quarantined hospital in order to help her newly blind husband.

Acting: Good.

Humor: Not a lot of humor.

Violence: Blindness does not contain graphic violence, but the movie does have some disturbing scenes.

Sex: Some mild nudity. Some disturbing sexual situations, most of which is "off screen."

Overall: Interesting movie, my wife and I really enjoyed it. Exploitation, fear of contagion, compassion, brutality, charity, sacrifice, and extremely unsanitary bathrooms make for a great movie.

2. I've seen Blindness and it does have graphic violence..

When the people rebel against those creeps in the asylum.

We zombie fans have a different bar to measure graphic violence. ;)

6. It's getting so a brain munching scene barely even registers anymore.

5. I admit my version of "graphic violence" may be skewed;

perhaps I should use the term, "grotesque violence," in the future.
