Absolutely hideous waste of film about a snotty young boy who's going blind (or is he? I couldn't tell) and witnesses a series of razor slashings committed on a group of blind ladies (or were they? Again, I couldn't tell). Not to worry though, we then find out that these were all just delusions that the boy was suffering because of his apprehension towards an eye operation (or was it? Seriously, I couldn't tell). Dreadfully bad and needlessly confusing, the characters aren't convincing or even interesting enough for us to bother following along with the befuddled storyline. What an abomination in filmmaking.
