Frozen Terror (1980)

While Jane runs off for a secret tryst with Fred, her daughter drowns her younger brother in the bathtub.  When Jane is apprised of the supposed accident, she and Fred rush home.  But in their haste, they go off the road and Fred is decapitated in the crash.

Jane is put in an asylum as she is understandably devastated by the loss of both her lover and son on the same day.  No one has caught on that the drowning was actually murder, so Jane's daughter is free to psychotically roam free.

When Jane is released, she takes up residence in the apartment where she and Fred used to meet for their trysts.  The landlord Robert is interested in Jane. She says she's not available, but that doesn't stop her from leading him on whenever she gets the chance.

Robert is blind. He never hears anyone else come to visit Jane.  Yet he seems to hear the sounds of sex coming from her apartment.  Robert tries to figure out what is going on, why Jane keeps her freezer locked, and who Jane is seeing, and the film gets creepier and more disturbing.
