Not worth your time

After reading some of the comments given here I am beginning to think that I have seen another movie! I understand that this is a independent low budget movie! So what! Only for this fact people are praising this movie! At least that is the impression I am getting! A higher budget for this movie wouldn't matter much since "Blur" seems to be depending on the story and not style or special effects! I think thrillers (in particular) have to be judged on plot and creativity! In "Blur" the plot seems to be going in a lot of directions without an actual goal!This is obviously to mislead you! Nothing wrong with this as long there are subtle hints for us to find out what is going on! In here lies the problem! We only get one perspective and that is from the main character! So we automatically assume that what he sees is actually happening! Not once we get a clue from other characters that something is wrong with him! The only thing that is said that he is paranoid! I did had my doubts on Adrien's behavior,but could not make out if it was scripted or bad acting! The surprising twist really comes out of nowhere and only in the epilogue it gets explained! This has got to be one of the worst twists I have ever seen! Come on how could I accept it without a single clue given in advance! This is not being creative! It's laziness! And why is this movie being called a horror movie! There are no supernatural elements involved! Apart from a scare or two and the main character who believes he is a psychic there is nothing going on! This movie has been very disappointing and certainly is not worth watching!
