The title of this movie is the name of a fictional phone app designed to help blind people. Like the real app on which it’s modeled, Be My Eyes (bemyeyes.com), the software allows a blind person to contact a sighted volunteer, point a phone camera at something, and hear a description of what’s on the screen. It’s useful for grocery shopping, walking through unfamiliar territory, reading menus, and hundreds of other daily activities. In this story, the protagonist is a blind teenager who’s fiercely independent. She gets a cat-sitting gig at an isolated mansion, and she uses the app to familiarize herself with the layout and posh amenities. It seems like a cushy assignment until intruders arrive, at which point the app changes from convenience to lifeline.
