Though not my favorite Hitchcock movie, it's the most well done film ever.

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2007)

Though not my favorite Hitchcock film (that would be Rear Window), this movie is brilliantly crafted. It still holds the capability to shock, and even scare a modern audience. The only problem with the film is that, for my personal taste, it is too dark (which is why I prefer Rear Window, it's a much lighter movie) and this laves me with an ugly feeling. However, it is still fast-paced and entertaining. I do consider this movie the most well done for the following reasons: 1. Janet Leigh-HUGE star for her time. Killed off in the middle of the movie.
2. Hitchcock spread rumors about casting the mother...who is actually dead.
I could go on. But, to boil it all down, he misleads the audience, increasing in their involvement. Truly a masterpiece.
