See No Evil (1971) [HD]



These Boots Were Made For Stalkin'...
SEE NO EVIL is an excellent horror / thriller movie w/ loads of suspense and mystery! Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) is Sarah, a blind woman who is staying w/ relatives in the country for some rest and relaxation. Well, she is rudely interrupted by a local maniac (we only get to see his legs and distinctive cowboy boots) who slaughters her family while she's out. Sarah returns home, unaware of the carnage around her. She walks through the big house, right past the dead bodies! Sarah's blindness works extremely well to heighten the tension. Meanwhile, the killer realizes that he's left something behind and must return to the murder scene in order to recover it. Yep, this is a classic!...

Still a Great Thriller
When this movie first came out, I never dreamed the day would come that I could actually own any movie. It was one of my favorite thrillers, and it showcased Mia Farrow's talent as a serious actor. I had to keep going back to the theater to see it again. There was something really terrifying about a helpless blind woman being alone in a house with her dead relatives scattered here and there. The bath scene was the spookiest....What is especially satisfying is the fact that it can still hold its own as a thriller. It is just down right scary. In spite of the fact that the hairstyles and wardrobe are obviously dated, it gets five stars from me for a movie worth owning and watching again and again.

Newly Blinded woman (and an orphan too) recently discharged from the rehabilitation center, comes to spend the weekend with her Aunt and Uncle on their estate. She wistfully pets the horses she knows she will never ride again. She spurns the boyfriend she can never marry now (despite his proposal). She seems to get off on the wrong foot with the new gardener who hangs around the stables. And they all have such charming English accents ! Life like this could go on forever until ...

A madman ransacks the house and kills all the occupants (what a surprise) !

When our intrepid heroine returns from spurning the aforementioned boyfriend, she wanders blithely around the house almost but never quite tripping over her dead relatives. Sadly for her, the killer realizes that he left behind incriminating evidence so now he must return to finish what he started. As she realizes the danger she is in, a race for survival begins

While slow in some spots it does have quite a bit of...
