Blind Kidnapping

About This Movie

So, 'Blind Kidnapping' from '89 is a quirky little comedy that takes a strange turn with its premise. You’ve got Stathis, the corporate director, who finds himself in a tangled mess after his lord's death. His daughter is thrown into the mix, and then there's this power struggle with her mother—who's all about maintaining her shareholding status. The way Stathis reacts is, well, a bit over the top, with his plan for kidnapping being both ludicrous and darkly comedic. The pacing doesn’t quite flow smoothly, but there’s something captivating about its offbeat humor. The performances are a mix of earnest and absurd, which adds to the film's unique charm. You can really feel that late '80s vibe throughout, even if the effects are pretty practical and unrefined. It’s definitely one of those odd gems from the era.
