#100
if you have no eysight and you want to escape from your sister's house, just call a carer from the hospital. he will know every inch of your sister's house (such as the exact number of stair steps in front of you), thus he will perfectly navigate you, over the phone.

#99
if somebody is about to harass you sexually, just ask him for a glass of water and he will go away to get you one.

#98
if you just had an eye surgery, you don't want to stay in the hospital to recover your eyesight. instead you insist to spend the time in "the creepy old house where [your] sister died in mysterious circumstances and where there's quite possibly a maniac on the loose". (quote: davidxryan)

#97
corpses are stored in an eye hospital before their funeral.

#96
if your husband has died and you won't have eyesight for the next two weeks, you may ask the hospital to keep his corpse, so you can save your goodbye for the emotional ending of the film...er... for a time when you have regained you eyesight again.

#95
if you just lost your husband, and you have to wear a bandage due to an eye surgery, it will take only about one week until you a have a romance with your day carer (who you've never seen actually!) and you'll end up in a kiss.

#94
if you're saying goodbye to your husband who passed away two weeks ago, you won't be able to resist fondling and kissing his frozen corpse.

feel free to continue...

Addendum to #98:
...Where your sister AND YOUR HUSBAND were hanged in the basement mere days before

#93 When leaving the hospital to go live in your sisters house, because you can take care of yourself, immediately knock everything on the floor and freak out.

#92 Despite having modern cell phones, insist that every landline is a 70's era phone

#91 When you have a hot wife, you want to make sure you have an affair with her sister who's going blind. For plot reasons.

#90 Don't trust people who have padlocks on their freezers

#89 It's easy to kidnap grown men, steal security phootage and murder elderly janitors within the span of an hour.

#88 Not being able to see for a week gives you super hearing powers!

#87 Ivan, the real caretaker must've been a very lonely man, who paid his rent in advance.

#86 Growing up in a sexual predator home, and proficiency in parkour so as to scale buildings, is not a guarantee that you'll surviving a knife wielding maniac.

#85 Lending a helping hand to your clinically insane son can sometimes backfire.

# 84 When you go blind best wave your arms wildly around and knock things over to find your way. But when it comes to escaping from your home you´re allowed to run freely across free spaces.

# 83 When you go blind you might not be able to find a mirror hanging on a wall without pushing all the stuff off of a shelf, but once you found the mirror with your hands you will have a perfectly good view upon your own face.

#82 If you're losing your eyesight, and someone is following you, please run after him 'till you get to a very dark and creepy hall, where he will be hiding in the dark corner, and use your cellphone to try and take a look at him.

#81: If you get the killers knife and can stab him... stab him in the leg, not somewhere vital.

#80: After you hit him in the head and he goes down, put down your weapon and grab for the camera instead of continuing to bash his head in.

man this is awesome,its been so long i am a regular reader of imdb threads,discussion boards and reviews about the films that i watch,and i have never seen such a hilarious thread.salute to you @mrfilmjunkie,loll it was a great idea,and above all your comments were all amazing and amusing.

#79: you love the hot lady who is married,its easy to drag her into scene by killing her sister,instead of approaching her in some pleasant manner.

#78: it's such a great tragedy,you get eye transplants,you get bandaged,and then you get the feel to go home,without having any pains,scratches etc.

#77: for a blind woman it's perfectly logical not to remove your high heels before you descend a flight of steep concrete stairs into a concrete basement, but instead to remove them after you've managed to stumble down the stairs.

#76: when randomly deciding to spy on a group of your late sister's ex friends, you can guarantee you'll arrive at the exact moment they are gossipping about her.

what dreams may come...

#75 If you find yourself being a minor character in a horror film and also happen to be blind, your eyes are likely to go creepily blue and cloudy. If you are the leading star, this is not the case.

#74 If you are a leading man, the black turtle neck look is always smart, even whilst appearing in your blind widows daydreams.

#73 If you are in a fragile state, nearly blind and being chased by a murderer, make sure to get help from an old lady who is even more fragile and even blinder (as far as you know).

#72 Make sure to surround yourself with inept policemen. These might become suprisingly capable in the movie's climax.

#71 If you are going to cheat on your wife, do it with a woman who is an exact replica of your wife! Makes perfect sense.

[–] pftm 12 years ago

#70 If you know who killed your neighbor, don't call the police. Watch the murderer take care of a blind and helpless woman for 10 days before you intervene (in a stupid way).

#69 When you decide to rescue a woman who is in the house of a man you know is a murderer, don't call the police. Go into the house of the murderer and scare the *beep* of the woman you try to rescue by acting in a very weird way.

#68 Even although you are under a lot of emotional stress because both your sister and husband hanged themselves (your husband only a day ago) and because you just learned that your husband cheated on you, the doctor sees no problem operating on you.

#67 If you are blind and you have to sign a consent form before you go under the knife, they won't read out to you what you are going to sign.

#66 14 days of rest means not losing your eyesight. Less than 14 days of means losing your eyesight. Even after 10 days of rest you lose your eyesight completely.

#65 If the camera shows you a close-up of the face of Ivan, you can rest assured that the nurse who will show up to treat the patient won't be Ivan.

#64 Of course the murderer is the long lost son of the neighbor, who didn't have a clue that her son is having a romance next door.

#63 Janitors live in the cluttered basement of the hotel where they work.

#70 When you are blind and you rely on your hearing and your touch, you don't notice that your carer doesn't sound or "feel" the same

[–] keiser_shoese 12 years ago

^^70 above should be 62, and we take it from there.

#61 When you take your tea with two spoonfuls of sugar, you don't stir the sugar until it dissolves, you just sort of dunk it in there and have a sip right away. Sweetnesssssss!

It's me, Gloria, I left my driver's licence on the table, next to the fruit!

#60 If you want to kill multiple people, just make them all look like suicide and the police will be instantly fooled.

#59 Ensure that these "suicides" are identical and take place in the same location. Don't worry if your victim may have no reason for suicide, the police will naturally assume they were utterly wretched and hated life/themselves and saw no other reason to live.

#58 If you are a police officer and you find the body of an old man who is the only person who knows the identity of a possible killer dead (by electrocution) in the bath, DON'T view it as suspicious and certainly don't attempt to investigate.

#57 If you've just had eye surgery and have decided to return to the house where both your sister and husband were, as you believe, murdered and there's a killer on the loose and when the people who brought you home from the hospital ask if you want them to stay with you until your carer arrives, tell them, "No".

Then once they go, panic, knock everything over and cry.

#56 If you are a policeman and a man is obviously and slowly going to cut his throat in front of you, do nothing but point at him with a lantern, and if possible move the lantern from side to side while he dies so that it seems he is in a disco.

[–] ObsessedMovieLover 11 years ago

#55 If you go on a killing spree and wear all black and black gloves. Don't worry. No one will think you are suspicious. Just use your shadow powers.

#54 If you touch someone's shoulder in broad daylight but don't want to be seen. Don't worry. Just touch the shoulder and when they turn around you will disappear.

#53 If there is a possibility of murders being connected to you, just kill some random girl in your kitchen and keep bodies in your freezer. It will all be ok in the end.

#52 If a woman who you have come to trust comes into your house and tells you that a murderer is on his way inside and you need to call the police. Make sure to be super slow and dramatic when reaching for the phone/ dialing. That way, if the murderer turns out to be your long lost son, you can still be reunited!

Signatures are impossible.

#97 corpses are stored in an eye hospital before their funeral.

I literally laughed out loud when I read that one.

# 51 If your children insist on going to the Planetarium, save yourself the trouble (and money). Give them a tour of the local eye clinic and have them stare at preserved eyes - they will see the Universe.

[–] fortywood 11 years ago

# 50 If you're about to lose your vision and surgery is the only option, don't visit the specialist in your city that everyone will recommend but insist that you drive out to a remote town where you don't know anybody. Especially if your sister lives there and you have been informed that following surgery she was still blind as a bat. Make sure you go to the same doctor.

#49 In Spain, organ donors themselves choose who will recieve their organs. After their death.

#48 "my dad is lonely and you are hot" is a nice way to apologize after you got almost violated..

It is colder than Angelina. She took that sad old lady's husband.- Stewie G

[–] josh9742 10 years ago

#47 If you lose your vision for a few hours, and are told you need an organ transplant, don't ask for a second opinion. Because you're better than that.

#46 If go to talk to some blind friends of your deceased sister, and find them all naked after showering, just go and stand in the middle of them - it will be glorious. Unless you're a mouth-breather and/or have a strong body odor.

#45 If you are a Spanish police detective (or husband), make sure to disregard any statement made by a woman before it leaves her mouth. Because she is obviously incompetent.

#44 If your tea is moving when you return to the table, someone switched mugs with you and did not knock the table.

#43 Jerk your head backwards in shock when you hear a door slam even though you just heard someone walk to the door and open it.

42. If you have a stress - related genetic illness that has caused you a 20% loss of vision, make sure against your doctor's and partner's wishes, you engage in the most stressful behaviour possible so that you can lose your remaining 80% of vision ASAP.

41. Accordingly though you are vision-impaired and have no particular ninja skills, always be ready to chase alone, any shadowy male serial killer suspects into darkness, in locations with which you are completely unfamiliar.

40. When this chase invariably ends unsuccessfully, but with you totally stressed out, feel relieved that you are likely to have lost another 20% of your vision.🐭

39. Women's locker rooms typically have long open hallways connected to them that, after multiple twists and turns, lead directly outside, meaning anyone could make their way into the locker room at any time.

38. These aforementioned twisty hallways connected to women's locker rooms have massive power switches that allow you to turn all the lights on at once (though the lights will only actually turn on as you run past).

37. If you need to investigate your sister's murder alone (because your husband disagrees with it) your husband will conveniently have minor activities to see to nearly every time you are with him.

36. If you want the girl who rejected you to kill herself, make sure to play the song that she hates - that will do the trick.

35. Always leave your grieving wife's side without a word at her sister's funeral. And make sure she still talks to you when you leave, what could possibly happen?

[–] keith-s-russell 7 years ago

34. if you are the leading character you must remember to "calm down". I lost count how many times she was told to do this by various people.
