Double Blind is a really solid early-career effort from director Ian Hunt-Duffy–who also plays one of the more antagonistic volunteers–and it’s a decent horror film to boot. Most of the elements are played safe but effectively, and there’s not a clear misstep to be found. The script, sets, acting, setpieces, and plot all serve the aim of the film, and the fulfilled promise gory sci-fi horror entertainment outpaces the modest creative ambitions. My caution is to manage expectations appropriately, and this film will deliver provided you’re just looking for a bit of fun.

‘All in all, V/H/S 99 is a great return to form for the series…The segments weren’t especially scary, but they were universally fun. Each piece of the anthology does feel genuinely authentic to 1999, and I appreciate how much effort went into this particular aspect. ‘

I appreciate that Head Count decides to ramp up its horror in the daytime, as this makes for a natural build as the day wanes. This also means there’s a good bit of diversity in the scary moments
