- Thriller
Emma is an attractive girl in her 20s who has been blind for 20 years. A new type of eye operation partially restores her sight, but she is having problems: sometimes she doesn't "remember" what she's seen until later. One night she is awakened by a commotion upstairs. Peering out of her door, she sees a shadowy figure descending the stairs. Convinced that her neighbour has been murdered she approaches the police, only to find that she is unsure if it was just her new eyes playing tricks on her.
Blink is a 1993 crime thriller starring Madeleine Stowe as Emma, a woman who regains partial sight after twenty years of blindness through experimental surgery. When she witnesses what she believes is a murder in her apartment building, her unreliable new vision becomes central to a twisting investigation that questions what she's actually seen.
