Gerry K I saw this movie, called "See No Evil," when I was just 6, and loved it! I was terrified by it, yet couldn't stop watching. It stuck with me for years. It's an old school psychological suspense thriller that has some scary moments, with terrific performances, but as an adult watching it, I became acutely aware of how the direction really puts the burden on the audience to stay in line in order for the story and plot to work. I think the true saving grace for this film is Mia Farrow's performance, as well as the premise of a blind girl in peril. Though we have seen that done better in Audrey Hepburn's "Wait Until Dark," with Alan Arkin's horrifying performance as psychotic killer, Roat. Despite its shortcomings, I still do love this film, and enjoy breaking it out for a view every once in a while, maybe more for nostalgic reasons.

Really good movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review jon c Thou shall hear or 'see no evil' The director of ‘Conan' and Mia Farrow starring in a suspenseful thriller Sarah stays at a family mansion in the English countryside after suffering an accident leaving her completely blind Her aunt, uncle, and sister are taking care of her and her former boyfriend offers to rekindle their romance but Sarah is in for a shock when all of them end up dead A killer from the city is prowling around the house turning this encounter into a game of cat and mouse Can Sarah figure out who this murderer is given that she can't see? Mia Farrow puts on a very convincing performance It's actually kinda sad seeing this poor disabled woman wandering helplessly unaware of what she's lost What makes it worse is that once it's revealed who the killer is it puts things in a new perspective Is it viewed as a heinous act or a simple mistake out of desperation? Not a horror movie per se but there's still thrills and suspenseful situations wanting to get to the bottom of the whole thing The English countryside is gorgeous and this does put the fear of a blind person in a realistic scenario more frightening Formulaic for sure but a nice little chiller that feels very real Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I knew this would be a great film when I saw it was written by Brian Clemens who wrote, amongst other things, the amazing series called Thriller. I wasn't wrong. This is a cracking movie. Mia Farrow plays Sarah, a girl who is returning home after being in hospital after a fall from a horse has made her go blind. She is greeted by her mother and father. She goes for a nap and doesn't realise that when she wakes up her entire family have been murdered. There is a VERY unsettling sequence in which she doesn't realise this and goes about her business with the dead bodies of her nearest and dearest around her. When she enters the kitchen we are shocked to discover that as she makes a cup of coffee the killer is actually sat at the kitchen table watching her every move while she is completely oblivious. She soon discovers everyone is dead. And thats when things start to become really tense. The killer is kept secret from the audience but it identifiable only because of a distinctive pair of boots he wears, each with a star on them. The killer's walk from the cinema at the very start of the film is an incredible sequence. Theres stars from stage and screen in this film. Norman Eshley (Tristran's dad from George and Mildred), Michael 'Boon' Elphick, Paul 'Just Good Friends' Nicholas and Lila Kaye, the landlady from The Slaughtered Lamb in An American Werewolf in London all appear. Mia Farrow is totally believable in the lead role and coupled with some excellent direction and we have some truly tense, edge of the seat moments. Check out the scene where she moves around and through the arches in the huge house she lives in so that the killer won't see her. Outstanding acting and camerawork. I watched Indicator's Blu ray for this review and it is exceptional. Theres even another cut of the film that went by the title 'Blind Terror' on the disc. Indicator are fast becoming a Blu ray label to rival the very best Blu ray companies out there. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring. Skip the entire first half and just go straight to the last half where it's rather terrifying then. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
