Hey folks! So I just watched “Don’t Blink,” and, boy, am I all over the place about this film. You know those dreams you have when you’re just about to wake up, and everything’s a bit hazy but intensely vivid? Well, that’s “Don’t Blink” for you. It’s like en dröm you’d have after munching on too many kanelbullar before bed.

The premise is mysterious, ten strangers in a remote lodge, and it’s hush-hush real quick. No spoilers here, I promise. But, still, I couldn’t help feeling like I was watching a Swedish vintermorgon—it’s stunningly captivating but also sends a shiver down your spine.

Now, I’m not one to shy away from a good scare—growing up watching “The Seventh Seal” in a candle-lit vardagsrum prepared me well. But here, it’s not about jump scares; it’s more about what’s lurking just beyond your sense of sight. I loved that! Although, at times, I did feel like the film was trying a bit too hard to keep me guessing. You know that feeling when the person beside you whispers the plot twist five minutes in? Yeah, a bit like that.

The characters? They’re alright, reminding me of those long conversations with old pals at midsommar—some connections click, others feel like trying to dance kring stången after one too many snaps.

There’s this moment that particularly hit home—a flash of sudden inexplicable longing. It reminded me when I was 12, trying to spot älgar in Småland’s woods with Dad, and the quiet was both eerie and comforting. That’s this film—a mix of dread and odd nostalgia.

So, if you’re in the mood for a cerebral trip that’s just a tad unsettling, give it a go. Just maybe not alone in a dark Swedish cabin, alright?

Here’s a sneak peek if you’re curious: Don’t Blink
