"Blindfold Your Eyes" poster
In 2018, Netflix's "Blindfold Your Eyes" became Netflix's most successful film at that time. Because of the "Silent Place" pearl in front, many people regard "Blindfold Your Eyes" as a crash or even follow the trend. But the film is not just about replacing "can't speak out" with "can't open your eyes". At present, the sequel to the film has also entered the development stage.
Josh Maleman, the author of the original novel Blindfold, declared that the sequel to the film was already in development, saying, "I can't say too much, but it's already under development." Sometimes it's weird, but probably it's all about safety, and I'm in it. ”

In terms of time clues, the sequel story inherits the original film. Set in the post-apocalyptic era, the story tells that when a mysterious force wants to annihilate humanity, there is only one law: if you see it, you will give your life. In the face of all the unknowns, Melali is looking for love and hope, as well as a new turning point that can disintegrate this force. She had no choice but to take her two children across the perilous river and flee to the only place where it was possible to take refuge. To survive, they must be blindfolded and embark on a dangerous journey that lasts two days.
