For me, when it comes to disability representation in horror films, the bar is like basically underground.
There's a blind character in the first Reeker movie, he utilizes no apparent aids to move around and in fact repeatedly required another character to lead him around the environment, something the movie treats as this character's normal without question. He even at one point gives the "without sight my other senses had to get super strong" speech.
But the actor portraying this character seemingly actually has at least seen footage of a blind individual not wearing opaque glasses at least one time and it influenced his portrayal.
Thus I found myself thinking "this is halfway decent representation"
I'm wrong it really isn't, but I've lowered the bar so many times! God fucking damn I wish the world was better than it is.
