Review of See No Evil

See No Evil (1971)
6/10
An average, suspenseful thriller with good actors
30 October 2012
I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this movie and after seeing i didn't really know how to rate it. I'll try anyway.

The idea of a blind main character is somehow original but just about anything else makes it an average and somewhat predictable thriller. The film offers a few scares and some intense scenes and towards the end everything is very obvious and predictable.

The movie could have been made more suspenseful with the use of more sound effects and ambient but i can understand that the movie portrays the blind main character's feelings and how she was clueless of the horrific acts that took place in the house while she was away.

The movie looks aged but still it is enjoyable for thriller fans. It is not too special but it isn't too bland either. I could say that it's far better than the mainstream thrillers of today. The filmmakers used to make good movies in the past, even in the mainstream.

In overall the film was enjoyable and it's not a bad choice for a viewing with friends.
