Home invasion thrillers are inherently terrifying for corrupting the private space designated most for comfort and safety. The terror compounds when the home dweller can’t fight back easily; their vulnerability exacerbates the suspense tenfold—vulnerabilities like blindness. See for Me isn’t the first home invasion thriller to center around a blind character trying to evade the dangerous men
