Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe project had been in development for nearly 2 years. In 2019, Aidan Manley worked as a writer's assistant for Jonathan Sobol. When he asked Sobol for future filmmaking advice, he told Manley to make a web-series and then cut it together into a feature-film. That way he could show that he's capable of episodic work and features. Manley started to develop an idea, but the plot didn't work so the project was shelved. He picked it back up during the summer of 2020 and changed the story after being inspired by Layers of Fear (2016), but then struggled with trying to make a feature-length story with only one actor, leading him to almost drop the project and develop it as a novel instead. When he found out that the original Dracula novel was written as a collection of interviews and journal entries, he thought that would be the perfect format for the novel. But then he decided that the story can still work as a movie if done in the found-footage genre. Manley has said that if it wasn't for this decision, the movie would never have been made.
Featured review
Blank Stare...
Aidan Manley does virtually everything in the production of this movie. He produces, writes, directs, and stars in "Blank Page". With a running time of 1 hour and 18 minutes, "Blank Page" is 1 hour, 17 minutes, and 59 seconds too long.
Manley could have actually filmed an actual blank page... a single sheet of plain white copy or typing paper... and that would have been more compelling and more frightening than this movie was. I won't include spoilers in this review; something of import and consequence would have had to happen in the movie for me to include anything even remotely resembling a spoiler. I suppose that me describing how bland and boring that this movie was might be considered a spoiler.
I will tell you that the plot of the movie centers on a writer who finds that he cannot complete a story that he's working on due to some mysterious force. I very nearly succumbed to a similar malady, as I found that I was having great difficulty in staying awake and watching the movie through to the end. The force that so profoundly affected me wasn't as "mysterious" as the force in the movie; it was just plain old boredom.
