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.
