Dark Glasses
Occhiali neri
Diana, a high-class prostitute trying to escape from a serial killer, suffers a car accident that leaves her blind and kills the family of Chin, a ten-year-old boy.
Why it matters
A tense, stylish thriller that blends psychological torment with slasher brutality through the unnerving lens of sudden blindness.
- Subverts the classic blind-survivor trope by grounding Diana’s vulnerability in a gritty, urban nightmare rather than supernatural horror.
- Delivers palpable suspense through its claustrophobic framing and sound design—your senses sharpen as hers dim.
- Features a rare narrative focus on a sex worker protagonist, adding layers of agency and survival instinct often missing in slasher fare.
- For fans of stalking horrors with an emotional core, this is a fresh twist on revenge and trauma that leans into realism over gore.
