Why so underrated?!

3 years, 2 months ago at Mar 10 12:52
Frenzy is a film that I never really knew much about despite it being a Hitchcock film and for that its underrated. When I saw Frenzy, I couldn't believe how disturbing it is. When I was in the first 20 minutes, I started to get a bit bored because it took a bit too long to get going. Despite it being a thriller, it was a slightly different kind of Hitchcock film because it is set in an ordinary m... read more

The master of suspense looses his touch.

A very mixed but interesting bag. There was a lot I liked, but there was a lot I disliked. I'll start with what I didn't like. First off, Ron Goodwin's score. It is by no means bad, in fact excellent, but fo I felt the majority of it belonged to a totally different film. A joyful, happy, family friendly film, not the bleakness of Frenzy. I much prefer Henry Mancini's efforts that Hitchcock discard... read more

A good movie

Many consider this movie the last masterpiece directed by Hitchcock. I would have to agree on this. Even though it may not be as good as his previous classics such as Psycho, Vertigo or The Birds, it still is a damned good picture. I especially liked how dark the tone was and, as usual, the directing is amazing. Definitely worth a look.

15 From 72: My Favorite Films Of 1972 (15 movies items)

"After sidetracking into a couple of different themes, Frenzy represents a homecoming, in more ways than one, for director Alfred Hitchcock. Not only does the master of murder mystery return to London for the production of this movie, but also, returns to the genre that made him (in)famous. A story about a serial killer who kills his female victims by strangling them with neckties, it is considered by many as the last great Hitchcock film (not surprising, considering he only made one more movie "

"February 24 "No, discretion is not traditionally the strong suit of the psychopath, dear. Believe me, that's what we're dealing with. You ought to read his wife's divorce petition." Since the giraffe suggested that I watch this before it left Netflix, I decided to do so. Even though I haven't seen lots of Hitchcock's movies, I can say that this is his most darkest and graphic film. The dialogue and the story are also good just like all his other movies. This is definitely his best later film"

" One of the more underappreciated of Hitchcock’s work, and one of his best movies to come from the later part of his career in my opinion. I always saw it as a kind of big finale to Hitchcock’s films, almost like paying tribute to himself. This movie is a little bit of Psycho, a little bit of The Wrong Man, with a touch of Dial M for Murder."
