Trivia
The viral marketing campaign for this film was so successful that the "Blink Man" legend was included in a book on local folktales, called Haunted Ellicott City by Shelley Davies Wygant. After the book was published, director Erik Kristopher Myers reached out to the author to let her know that he had concocted the legend as a marketing campaign for the film. Despite Myers' concern that she would be angry, Wygant said that, "I thought it was genius."

You'll know where to make the cut. This is the story of Peeping Tom, and how I went looking for him. Please show this to my parents. I don't know how much longer I can go without blinking.

Done before, but done well

Yet another "found footage" movie. I have watched dozens of movies in this genre, most of them pretty below average.This one was however pretty good, and a cut above the rest with an interesting concept. A film maker comes into possession of a box of videos left in his mother-in-laws new house. It belonged to two film students investigating the local legend of the supernatural being, Peeping Tom, or The Blink Man. He becomes obsessed with the footage and begins his own investigation and documentary. That's the basic beginnings of the movie, and it takes several twists and turns from there. I did enjoy this movie, and would have scored it higher, but I found the central character of film maker Gavin York so unlikable, it was hard to empathise with him. His reactions in certain situations seemed excessive, even for someone obsessed as he was. Could have been an 8/10, worth a look.
