Reviews

Sightless received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.5/10, indicating a lukewarm response from viewers. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a critics' score but shows an audience approval rating hovering around average. Critics praised Madelaine Petsch’s strong performance, highlighting her ability to convey vulnerability and determination despite the film's sometimes predictable plot twists. A review from Film Threat mentioned, “Petsch delivers a compelling portrayal that anchors the film’s psychological edge,” while noting that the storyline occasionally leans too heavily on genre clichés. However, some reviewers criticized the film for its pacing and reliance on familiar thriller tropes. A common critique, as seen on Metacritic, was that the movie struggled to sustain suspense throughout, leading to a somewhat forgettable conclusion. Overall, Sightless is recognized for its atmospheric tension and performance but falls short of standing out in its genre.
