What I've Seen With Your Eyes

The influences of Blade Runner.

We are offered a glowing neon world with video-interface pay-phones, fantastical genetic engineering, and flying cars—as well as a dreary, paranoid, hard-boiled detective story. Even Vangelis’ electronic drones dip into the smoking-room of melancholic sax riffs. Both genres are true at once and it works. There’s even an argument to be made that Blade Runner has elements of horror. Ditch Deckard, our world-weary film noir agent, and the film becomes a Frankenstein-like tale of a hubristic scientist whose creations have come back to haunt him.
