Most of what happens, and what people say or do defies any logic and just makes no sense. The script is laughable and even the soundtrack is poor. It's embarrassing and hard to watch.

A hot mess
how bad can humanity be?
I watched this movie on the date it was made. At that time, I liked it very much. I watched it again because of the virus epidemic. It tells the evil in humanity.
YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT
After one man becomes blind, it turns out to be contagious as the whole city eventually becomes blind. They are rounded up and placed in large prison type hospital with no sighted supervision except for one woman (Julianne Moore) who is unaffected by the disease. She pretends to be blind and aids those who are. Things de-evolve to their base level, a movie whose theme is similar to that of "Lord of the Flies."
The acting is good, but the movie drags on. It is about the relationships that develop among blind people as an insight into society as a reflection of individuals...I think. There doesn't seem to be any over powering metaphor that most likely existed in the book. As science fiction it fails on many accounts and must be viewed NOT as science fiction but metaphorically. Even with that in mind, I didn't find the film overly entertaining.
This film is available in a 6-pack "Contagious Outbreaks."
