SEE NO EVIL WAS A VERY GOOD MOVIE WITH A BIT OF SUSPENSE AND GREAT ACTING BY MIA FARROW. THIS THRILLER FROM 1971 IS RATED PG FOR VIOLENCE. IT IS, HOWEVER, QUITE TAME COMPARED TO A LOT OF FILMS. IT KEEPS THINGS TO THE IMAGINATION. ALL IN ALL, IT IS A SATISFYING WAY TO PASS 90 MINS. OF YOUR TIME!! ENJOY!!!
Terrific thriller
I saw this movie when I was 9 years old at the old New Broadway theater in San Juan. I remember being terrified. So it was interesting seeing this movie so many years later. It still holds up. This is a really suspenseful movie that takes a while to build up, but when it does, it really delivers. Mia Farrrow is excellent as the blind girl who suddenly discovers that all her relatives have been murdered. Watch out for the man with the boots!!!! I wish the DVD had some interesting extras, it simply features the trailer for the movie and for "Homicidal"(?).Still a great buy and a good movie for a rainy Saturdaty afternoon. A great movie to watch with your girlfriend, too.
suspenseful suspense movie
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 action. It was suspenseful and there were enough suspects wandering about the place that the mad killer is a surprise. If you like to watch helpless women be chased around the English countryside by a serial killer then this movie is well worth your time.
Audrey Hepburn's last Oscar nomination was for this adaptation of Frederick Knott's famed stage thriller about a blind woman, a con man (Alan Arkin), and a doll full of heroin. Thanks to Hepburn's husband, a photographer who does a good deal of traveling, she's unknowingly come into possession of said doll, which was given to him on a plane by a comely young drug runner who winds up dead. The murderous Arkin, aided by sympathetic henchman Richard Crenna, will let nothing stand in the way of his obtaining it, even if it comes down to assaying multiple "personalities" in order to visit and terrorize Hepburn; Crenna is unwillingly enlisted to help. However, the "world's champion blind lady" (as Hepburn sardonically states) is more than up to the task of defending herself in her basement...

Based on the Robert Marasco novel of the same name, Dan Curtis's eerie movie puts a spin on celluloid haunted-house sagas. The well-adjusted Rolf family (father Oliver Reed, mother Karen Black, aunt Bette Davis, and young son Lee H. Montgomery) rent a huge old summer house only to find that its spirit is in control of the estate. The requisite sinister proceedings appear--including a possessed pool and the vision of a sinister hearse driver following Reed--that disrupt the family's unity. Black also falls under the spell of an elderly woman whom she is required to take care of, but no one ever sees. While it may not be as overtly shocking as other ghost tales, Burnt Offerings has a creepiness that gets under your skin thanks to good performances and the dreamy, soft-focus...

In the tradition of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Hammer Studios drew aging Tallulah Bankhead out of retirement to play the fanatical matriarch of Die! Die! My Darling! (in Britain the film was simply titled Fanatic). Stefanie Powers, fresh from a string of juvenile and ingenue roles, plays her first adult, a thoroughly modern (and sexually liberated) woman who steps out of her time and into Bankhead's decaying mansion, a bit of southern Gothic nestled in the rural England countryside. Her courtesy call to the mother of her deceased lover turns into a cat-and-mouse thriller as the dotty, scripture-reading old lady dedicates herself to "cleansing" the befouled girl in memory of her son. Richard Matheson's smart screenplay (from the novel Nightmare by Anne...

Charlton Heston seemed fond of starring in apocalyptic science-fiction films in the late 1960s and early '70s. There was Planet of the Apes, of course, and The Omega Man. But there was also 1973's Soylent Green, a strange detective film (based on Harry Harrison's Make Room! Make Room!) set in 2022 and starring Heston as a Manhattan cop trying to solve a murder in the overpopulated, overheated city. His roommate (a necessity in the overcrowded metropolis), played by Edward G. Robinson, tries telling him about a better time on Earth before there were no more resources or room left; but Heston doesn't care. Directed by Richard Fleischer (The Vikings), the film has a curious but largely successful mix of mystery and bleak futuristic vision, somewhat like...

This 1966 masterpiece by Michelangelo Antonioni (The Passenger) is set in the heady atmosphere of Swinging London, and stars David Hemmings as an unsmiling fashion photographer hooked on ephemeral meaning attached to anything: art, sex, work, relationships, drugs, events. When a real mystery falls into his lap, he probes the evidence for some reliable truth, but finds it hard to reckon with. Vanessa Redgrave plays an enigmatic woman whose desperation to cover something up only seems like one more phenomenon in Hemmings's disinterested purview. This is one of the key films of the decade, and still an unsettling and lasting experience. --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Vanessa Redgrave - David Hemmings Director(s): Michelangelo Antonioni DVD Release Date: Released the 17 February 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours
