Horror reviews in a minute or less, 100% spoiler free!

Double Blind is the story of a young woman in need of money who joins a medical study from an Umbrella Inc. style pharmaceutical company with a group of other young adults. When things inevitably go terribly wrong and the group finds they will die if they fall asleep, so begins a desperate struggle to fight off sleep and, in some cases, each other.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by Double Blind because sleep deprivation is an interesting horror theme as it can cause a number of issues, such as waking dreams and hallucinations, paranoia, and sensory delay. This opens the door to all sorts of drama and plot devices which Double Blind takes full advantage of.

Most horror hounds will recognize consummate horror denizen Pollyanna McIntosh and the keen eyed will remember Abby Fitz as the daughter from The Cellar, but other than that, most of the players here are not regulars in the horrorsphere.

I can’t say too much more about it without spoiling the fun, so I’ll leave you with my recommendation: rent it, it’s well worth the price.
