This was a pretty good movie. The blind woman freaked me out. There was a lot of irony in the end.

See, this is why we need sections that stretch back beyond the '70s on this site -- I had no idea this movie was listed on RJ. A late-show classic, this movie REALLY freaked me out as a kid (the blind woman was fr-reaky!). As an adult, I realize it's utter schlock... but fun schlock nonetheless.
