Nowhere in Sight (2000) from Johnny Web (Uncle Scoopy; Greg Wroblewski)

The straight-to-vid version of Wait Until Dark. 
It's the oldest plot in the book. Thugs terrorize a blind woman until she can get to the fuse box and turn the lights off, at which point she turns the tables. In the aforementioned Wait Until Dark, Audrey Hepburn received a 1967 Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the blind woman.

This time Supergirl plays the blind woman. Ms Slater also wrote and sang part of the score.

Supergirl's boyfriend is played by Andrew McCarthy, thereby proving that rumors of his death were somewhat exaggerated. He was killed in the film, but it doesn't appear to have been for real.

The People Vote ...

  • With their votes ... IMDB summary: IMDb voters score it 5.0 
IMDb guideline: 7.5 usually indicates a level of excellence, about like three and a half stars from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm watchability, about like two and a half stars from the critics. The fives are generally not worthwhile unless they are really your kind of material, about like two stars from the critics. Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

My own guideline: A means the movie is so good it will appeal to you even if you hate the genre. B means the movie is not good enough to win you over if you hate the genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an open mind about this type of film. C means it will only appeal to genre addicts, and has no crossover appeal. D means you'll hate it even if you like the genre. E means that you'll hate it even if you love the genre. F means that the film is not only unappealing across-the-board, but technically inept as well.

Based on this description, this film is a D. Trite, hackneyed plot, one-dimensional characters.
