🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its suspense by contrasting the protagonist's physical vulnerability with her resilience, relying on a classic home-invasion framework. It explores themes of trust and deception, effectively using the limited perspective of blindness to heighten tension.

What lingers after viewing is a sense of unease about the fragility of safety, wrapped in a tightly paced thriller with clever reversals. The sound design becomes a character in itself. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Billy Chung Siu-Hung
