‘See for Me’
Sophie (Skyler Davenport) is a former pro skier who is now blind and lives with her overprotective mother. One outlet for her to express her fiercely independent nature is by house-sitting the mansions of wealthy folks on vacation. But when some criminals break into one of the estates Sophie’s watching, she’s forced to use some unorthodox methods in order to have a chance at survival.
It starts off as an intriguing thriller, but its gimmick of “poor blind girl threatened by big bad men” begins to sag around the second act.
