Some blind-sploitation from the team that made Ten Rillington Place, a woman in peril thriller made for one sequence really - blind Mia Farrow going back to a house not realising she's walking around the corposes of her family.
That's a brilliant sequence but, like Brian Clemens' other scripts, struggles to pad out to feature length. Creepy build up and corpse walking around is terrific - then he struggles. Mia goes for a horse ride with her ex (lump front forward type who was the real estate agent on George and Mildred), tension dissipates, then goes back to the house, discovers bodies, escapes.
Mia is passive - she runs, falls, and ges rescued a few times - even unforgivably at the end. I kept expecting to be plunged into darkenss so the tables were turned but it never happens.
Some "significance" added at the front with the killer ('s boots) walking arond being inundated by violent images.
Briskly diected by Richard Fleischer.
