I'm a big fan of Indie movies so I try to be fair in reviews and consider all aspects. With Blur I would say production value is really excellent. Storyline was a little weak and cliché, and acting a bit hit and miss. Police officer was great as well as a few of the supporting actors, but the female lead made me cringe. She is also a producer which made me suspect that's why she was cast in this role.

Overall enjoyable if you can ringfence the lead's acting. Considering this was filmed over 2 years on weekends, there are remarkably few continuity errors. Good effort, but not a movie I would watch a 2nd time.

I tried to reduce any spoiling to soft, no story plots revealed.

"Blur" emerges as a commendable effort within the indie or low-budget film scene, particularly when it comes to its visual effects. The movie kicks off with a creative premise, laying down an initial story that piques interest and sets the stage for what could be a compelling narrative journey.

However, the film soon encounters its primary setback: the main script's lack of depth and character development. While the initial setup introduces us to a misterious plot brimming with potential, later falters in advancing these elements. The narrative struggles to introduce meaningful challenges or obstacles for the characters to overcome, leading to a plot that feels stagnant and underdeveloped.

Without spoilers I cannot delve much into how some characters find their fate, but some situations just happen without any subtlety that would give coherence to how/why it happens. Keeping it short, some occurrences felt fabricated instead of natural to the plot.

The performances delivered by the lead actors -the main actress and the actor portraying the police officer- deserve recognition. Their efforts add a layer of engagement to the film, considering the slow roles they were assigned.

Unfortunately, "Blur" concludes on a note that many might find underwhelming. The ending lacks the narrative payoff that viewers might hope for after investing time in the story. A little abrupt too. Even if you can consider the ending acceptable, the reasons why it happened were not.

The 'Evil' lacks a tangible method for the protagonists to confront or overcome it. They experience a series of continous perpetrations from the entity without any chance of finding ground or development. This absence of a well defined evil, or motivations of it, transforms what could have been a captivating adversary into a mere plot device, reducing the characters to passive entities caught in the wake of powers that can just happen and cannot be confronted.

This was a curious little movie, which had some really original and interesting ideas, and for the most part executed them really well. Considering it is an independent movie, with a smaller budget, the effects are fairly convincing and the acting was pretty good from all concerned, and very believable.

It is a slow burner, but does ramp up in the second half, and has some great scenes.

The Storyline is a little confused at the beginning, by which I mean it is not explained very well. Basically, an Archaeologist/museum curator finds an old statue in the deserts around Iran, and when she returns to Australia, strange things start to happen.

The only real criticism I have is that it was almost like two separate stories, the initial one with the archaeologist, and then the second part with her friend Also They seemed to make a big deal about the soldier who was accompanying the archaeologist in the beginning, but then he sort of disappears and is not involved again.. There were a few plot points which either didn't quite make sense or remained unexplained, but I would definitely recommend this to lovers of supernatural horror.
