Wow. It’s hard to know what to think. Blind? Heroin? Problems with socializing with people who don’t have your best interests at heart? I might need to see this movie.
It’s actually pretty scarey, and Audrey is good in it 🙂
I’m writing this down. We like to watch old movies when my son and daughter-in-law visit but I’ve seen so many that I nix many selections or else I watch again and not with much interest. So this is going on my list for the next time. Go, Audrey, I do love her!
