What happens

See No Evil (released in the United Kingdom as Blind Terror) is a 1971 psychological horror thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer, written by Brian Clemens, and starring Mia Farrow, Dorothy Alison, and Robin Bailey. It follows Sarah, a recently blinded woman, who is stalked by a psychopath while staying at her aunt Betty and uncle George's house in the English countryside. An international co-production between the United States and United Kingdom, See No Evil marked Fleischer's second film produced under Filmways for Columbia Pictures, after 10 Rillington Place (1971). Fleischer described the film "sheer entertainment" made "to scare the hell out of audiences". The film was shot on location in Berkshire, England. It premiered in the United States on 2 September 1971, and was released in England two weeks later. Though a box-office disappointment in the United States, the film received some praise from film critics, particularly for Farrow's lead performance. Clemens received an Edgar Allan Poe Award nomination for Best Screenplay. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
