See No Evil (1971)
5/10
So damp and chilly you may catch a cold...
14 September 2007
Every few years, an otherwise adroit screenwriter in need of some fast cash will write and sell a story like this: blind (sometimes deaf) young woman is stalked by a killer. It doesn't take much--a few added details here and there (in this case, the victim is blind AND orphaned)--and some nastiness for an added effect, such as Mia Farrow unknowingly starting a bath with a body in the tub! It's a cold, grainy thriller with much hysteria and an abrupt ending, but if you're in the mood for yet another woman-in-distress picture, this one at least has Farrow in the lead and she's a lovely presence (though still trying to find her niche at this point, post-"Rosemary's Baby"). Plot-wise, there are some ridiculous turns of the screw, particularly a dead-end thread involving a gypsy family, which may have been forgivable had the filmmakers come up with a sound conclusion. ** from ****
