Abi's (May Kelly) drug habit has gone a bit out of hand of late, so
much so that her parents (Lynne O'Sullivan), her brother Mark (Karl
Hughes) and her best friend Lara (Lila Lasso) have taken her to a cabin in
the woods far off civilisation where intervention specialist Cara (Helen
Fullerton) is to help them to help Abi getting clean. Needless to say, Abi
is less than ecstatic about this, and she seizes the first opportunity to
get away - but her dad manages to intercept her. The situation is resolved
only when out of nowhere, dad is hit in the back by an arrow, and when he
and Abi try to make a getaway, they're captured by three human-sized mouse
creatures, who drag them back to a nearby bunker - a secret science lab
it's later revealed - to basically torture and kill them. But while dad is
killed, Abi, having found out the mice are actually blind, manages to make
good an escape. But when she's found by the others and blabbers on about
human-sized mice they think she's high on drugs. It's only when the cabin
is attacked by the mice that it dawns upon them that Abi was telling the
truth - but then it might already be too late ...
Of course, a film with a story like Three Blind Mice
cannot be taken wholly seriously, for that it strains its suspension of
disbelief a bit too much - but that said, it's very good for what it is, a
slightly silly but nevertheless highly effective horror movie, one with
suspense and jump scares in all the right places, and with some pretty
cool monsters. And a relatable cast playing believable characters doesn't
hurt one bit either. And the result is highly entertaining monster cinema
for sure.
