[SPOILER ALERT]
I watched the movie Don't Blink last night. I admit I was hooked on how mysterious it was. I got questions as I watched the movie. The very first question I thought of is where they went as they vanished. The way they disappeared was too swift. I'm so impressed and as well as baffled by the storyline. I was even more baffled by the ending. I must say the actors/actresses did so well. It's not the usual psychological horror film. I don't even consider it one. It's more like supernatural, sci-fi, mystery.
As I mentioned, I got questions while watching the movie. Some of them are as follows:
⁉️ How come Noah who disappeared (the 2nd to disappear) came back? Some of them were creeped out by his presence at the start of the movie. He acted weirdly. So to prove that he wasn't the one who caused it, he got shot and thrown out the door. He disappeared for the second time.
⁉️ How did Sam hurt his palm? Where did the broken piece of glass come from? It's like he just sat there and got hurt all of a sudden.
⁉️ At the start of the movie, they showed that all the animals were gone. The Mountain Resort was devoid of living things. It was freezing at the lake but warm at the resort. It snowed eventually. Did the animals felt something eerie and fled? Or did they also disappear like the people? What was with the change of weather?
⁉️ When there were three of them alive (Jack, Claire, and Charlotte), how come Charlotte was still alive even if no one paid attention to her as Jack and Claire stared at each other, never blinking!
⁉️ The three of them went to the bathroom and stared at each other but before Charlotte disappeared she was able to say that she was going away. How did she know it?
⁉️ As Claire heard the siren, she hastily went outside and was relieved when she saw the rescuers. She was then lead to the police car and mentioned to one of the men in black, don't blink. He then answered that he never did. One of them said to secure the perimeter and do it quickly as possible. Did they know what happened? Was it some kind of a set up? Everyone disappeared when Claire looked outside. How come the rescuers and police disappeared at the same time? Or was it only Claire who disappeared? Perhaps when one disappeared they would be alone thinking everyone vanished.
There's no way of knowing how everything happened. The movie is open-ended. You will be left baffled after watching it. It's been a day since I watched it and I'm still thinking about it. How long will I be like this? 🤣
My questions are all left unanswered. However, one thing that I'm certain about is nothing matters when you are gone. All the good things you did, the achievements you had, the skills you acquired, just anything will be nothing when you die. Everything will be gone in just a blink of an eye. So, savor every moment of your life. There's no way of knowing when and how you'll die. Keep in mind always, don't blink! 😅
I rate this movie, 8/10 🌟
