What motivated the killer to murder the entire Rexton family?

His motivation is never really explored in the movie. All we see of him until the very end of the movie is a pair of brown cowboy boots, each emblazoned with a white star. We see him coming out of a movie theater and strolling nonchalantly down the sidewalk past shops advertizing guns and violent comics. We see his boots get splashed with muddy water by the Rextons' car as George drives up to the railway station to pick up Sarah and Betty. We see the boots step boldly in front of the Rextons' car as it drives away from the station. The next day we see the booted stranger watching from a nearby pub as the Rextons carry groceries to their car, only to find that it's been keyed. The next time we see the boots, the Killer is at the Rextons' front door. Given these clues, viewers have offered four possibilities. He killed the Rextons (1) for muddying his boots, (2) out of contempt for their obvious upper class and condescending attitude toward him, (3) because they had the horse shot after Sarah's accident and blamed it on a broken leg, and/or (4) because he was simply a psychopath.

How did the killer know that the bracelet would be in Sarah's pocket?

When the killer goes back to the house after realizing his bracelet fell off and tries to stop Sarah from riding the horse, he notices the bracelet in her back pocket. We see him grab at it a number of times before the horse eventually kicks him and Sarah rides off. He simply assumed it was still in her back pocket while she was bathing.

What is 'See No Evil' about?

Recently blinded by a horseback riding accident, Sarah (Mia Farrow) goes to live into a large manor house in the English countryside with her Uncle George Rexton (Robin Bailey), Aunt Betty (Dorothy Alison), and cousin Sandy (Diane Grayson). After spending the afternoon with her boyfriend Steve Reding (Norman Eshley), Sarah returns to an empty house, or so she thinks. After a night's sleep, she wakes up again to a quiet house and thinks everyone is still asleep. What she doesn't know is that her uncle, aunt, and cousin have all been murdered and that the killer is planning to return to retrieve a bracelet that he accidentally dropped.
