Confusing story which blurs the line between fantasy and reality. In the first part of the film, a young boy accompanies his blind mother to a clinic. A "slasher" is on the loose, and the victims are all blind. There are plenty of creepy suspects hanging around the clinic, including a photographer who convinces his blind sister to pose for nude photographs. The boy sees him about to kill her but manages to poke his eye out with a knitting needle first. After that point, everyone in the movie who was previously blind can now see. The boy continues to have fantasies/nightmares, leading to another eye-poking episode, this one involving a friendly neighborhood dog. Later, he kidnaps his infant baby sister and one can only expect another eye-poking will follow, but luckily it never happens. An unsatisfying conclusion fails to offer any reasonable explanations.
