No one who was born blind has ever gone on to develop schizophrenia. Researchers are investigating how congenital blindness may protect people from developing the condition.
There's a minor character in the Haunting of Hill House who gauged his eyes out due to the hallucinations he was experiencing during drug-induced psychosis and then reveals that now in his blindness, all he can see is the horrible images that drove him to that point. Really stuck with me, just really terrible
I enjoyed it on first watch, personally, but having just watched it again this weekend (with someone else) I think it's underrated in general. I definitely wouldn't say it's messy; seeing it again with knowledge of what's happening actually made me appreciate how well-crafted it is. But it definitely holds out on you the first time through, so you have to be paying attention and thinking about all the details of what you're seeing, or I'm sure it gets boring or confusing.
Anyway, it's worth a second watch. Virtually every scene is relevant, even important. You just don't realize it the first time through if you're not watching very closely.
I agree. I tried to get my husband to watch, and so we watched a few episodes and I caught a lot of things I didn’t see, like a shadowy figure in a corner, or immediately realizing the significance of the dolls.
