See No Evil (1971)

#sensorydeprivationchallenge

Sarah (Mia Farrow) goes blind as an adult after a riding incident in See No Evil. Not only does she now have to navigate the world around her in an unfamiliar way, she puts herself in a whole new environment when she moves in with her aunt, uncle, and cousin. As she is determined to continue living as “normal” as possible, Sarah goes on a date with her ex-fiance. While she is out, a man goes into the house and murders the three family . It is when Sarah returns to the house, not knowing the fate of her family, that the sense of vulnerability and uneasiness sets in with the audience.

People watching the screen can see the bodies splayed out across the house and the pools of blood beside them. However, Sarah is not privy to this visual. She walks by the bodies, begins to run a bath with hear dead uncle in the tub, and is utterly unaware of what is just feet away from her. When she does eventually discover the horrifying reality, Sarah has to rely on her ability to seek help, trust strangers, and escape the killer herself. The concept is horrifying, and for horror cinema in the 70s, See No Evil is phenomenal.
