3 Days of a Blind Girl (1993)
Reviewed by: hkcinema on 1999-12-08
Following along the lines of Misery, this suspense thriller has Veronica Yip as the helpless but dependant victim and Anthony Wong the psycho who imprisons her. Veronica is temporarily blind for 2 days. How appropriate that her husband Jack is going away for two days, leaving her alone. Enter Anthony as Sam, wearing an evil Chuckie/ lumberjack outfit, who claims to be Jack's old friend. And how appropriate that he can't find a cab on this rainy night and she trustingly allows him shelter. Slowly he gets freakier as we learn that he has stalked her for a year, waiting for this opportunity to take revenge on Jack for having an affair with his wife. And while they wait for Jack to return home, they have two days to have some... interplay. There is some brutally cruel and violent content without being overly explicit. There's the basic incidental lightning and thunder crashes and suspense teasers. But in the least, this movie teaches you what household items can be used as effective weapons.
