...of ~fresh air. At least amongst the seemingly neverending slew of Blumhouse products this is one of a few standouts in the horror genre of late.
Here we get an almost docu-drama - the setup is well detailed, if you've made it here, you already know what that is.
To its strength, this isn't an out and out horror, there's elements and scenes with gore, but they're underplayed - in this context, I think that makes the film stronger, it's more a personal story of the characters and conflicts in the film and they're easily relatable.
I always enjoy Fessenden on screen, he's certainly on a good upwards curve behind the camera and I'll be keen to see the next project.
Blackout's a "comfy" film, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it more when I watch it again. Solid 6-7/10.
