Just watched it for the first time.

i also just watched it for the first time. it was in my netflix query forever and i forgot about it until it showed up. i thought it was good, but not scary. more of a suspense thriller. i like alan arkin now and thought it would be good to see him in his prime and he did not disappoint. i thought audrey hepburn was good also especially portraying a blind person. but sometimes her acting i thought was over the top especially when she was talking to her husband. the one thing that i definitely would of thought a blind person would catch was when everyone was using the rotary phone to call a number and tell her they were calling a different number. as a child of the 70's who grew up on rotary phones i know if you dial a 2 the rotary will make 2 ratchet type noises as it winds back around to the resting spot a 9 it would make 9 ratchet type noises etc. i actually caught this watching the movie and couldn't understand how a blind person with heightened senses did not notice that but she noticed other harder things with sounds. all and all i liked it and the ending was good i had no previous knowledge of the ending or really the film, i saw the title and info on it and looked good. i was worried that i might of seen the film before but i didn't.

There is NO WAY I would be handling matches in a gasoline - doused apartment. And, by lighting those matches, she was just letting him see where she was. She just needed him to tap to find out where he was, but what was the point of her intermittently lighting matches? If either of them actually dropped the match or flung it at the other person, the whole damn apartment
would have gone up in flames, and they would have died instantly.

I actually like this movie for everything up to the final scenes. A little OTT and shock value, sure, but I liked the suspense build-up and talent of the three actors, Crenna, Arkin and Weston playing games with Hepburn.
