A blind woman plays a deadly game of survival.

Thriller

After a flight back home, Sam Hendrix returns with a doll he innocently acquired along the way. As it turns out, the doll is actually stuffed with heroin, and a group of criminals led by the ruthless Roat has followed Hendrix back to his place to retrieve it. When Hendrix leaves for business, the crooks make their move -- and find his blind wife, Susy, alone in the apartment. Soon, a life-threatening game begins between Susy and the thugs.

VIBE

A masterclass in suspense. This film traps you in a suffocatingly tense atmosphere where every creak and shadow amplifies the dread. It's a chillingly effective game of cat and mouse, relying on sheer ingenuity and palpable fear.
