FrightFest: 'Blind' Unleashes New Mask Slasher from 'Blood Feast' Director

FrightFest will release a new horror movie Blind, from director Marcel Walz (Blood Fest) this November in the US. The film stars Sarah French (Hanukkah) as Faye, a former actress who lost her vision due to botched laser eye surgery. She is now attempting to her life back together and while living alone in her house in Hollywood.

Supported by her friend Sophia (Caroline Williams), Faye starts opening up to Luke (Tyler Gallant), a mute personal trainer, who can only communicate through his cell phone. Soon Faye realizes she isn’t alone as a masked stranger named Pretty Boy (Jed Rowen) begins to stalk her home.

In a recent interview with EW writer Joe Knetter explained that “Our goal was to do something different. Make it about the characters and the story. When you expect something to go one way, we tried to go in another direction. Instead of a home invasion, we liked to call it a home visitation. It plays as more of a drama-thriller at times, but it is a horror film. It’s a guy in a mask killing people.”

You can check out the trailer for Blind below and it will screen as part of the U.K.’s FrightFest on Aug. 29, with a the U.S. release date coming in November. Be sure to follow ScaryNerd for more of all things horror.
