Blind Side is a
suspenseful thriller describing a couple's terror as they are
stalked by a stranger who knows a deep dark secret the pair
are trying desperately to keep.
Doug and Lynn Kaine
are a young couple who are very much in love and are expecting
their first child. They have gone down to Mexico for a little
vacation and to see about setting up another branch of their
furniture store. They head back for California with Lynn
driving the lonely, narrow road that evening, straining to see
through the patches of fog that occasionally blow across her
path. All of a sudden a man staggers out of one of the fog
clouds, right in front of the car. Lynn slams on the breaks,
but it is too late. She hits the man, throwing him into the
car windshield, killing him. As they examine the man they
realize that this man was a police officer. They are
terrified, as they know what happens to people who are
arrested in Mexico, especially for murdering a police officer.
Much to Lynn's aversion, Doug convinces her that they must
flee the scene and not tell anyone of this horrible accident.
They return home
harboring this terrible secret, and try to go about their
daily routine as if nothing has happened. All's well until one
day when a stranger shows up at their door, Jake Shell. Shell
is an ominous man, who throws around hints that he may know
about their accident in Mexico. The Kaine's try everything to
get rid of Shell, even giving into black- mail, but Shell is
relentless. He wants much more. He has decided that he is
going to become part of the Kaine family, in every way. He
moves into the Kaine residence and his reign of terror begins.
The couple are now at Shell's mercy, or are they?
Animal action is
minimal. It is limited to one scene in which a road block has
been set up at a border inspection area to catch drug
smugglers. A border patrol dog is seen walking around a
vehicle sniffing for dope. The dog supposedly finds some
drugs, barks, and the suspect is arrested. This dog was not a
real a border patrol dog. The dog, lead by his trainer, who
played the part of the border patrol officer, was not actually
sniffing for drugs but rather sniffing out a hot dog that the
actor in the car was holding for him. The dog then barked when
given verbal commands to "speak". A burro hitched to
a cart is also visible in the background of this scene.
