Still the master after so long

Rating: 10/10 (17 August 2000)

Alfred Hitchcock is still the master of the horror genre, no matter that cinematic effects have vastly improved and the technology available is a far cry from the 60's. The use of seemingly innocuous animals to strike fear into our hearts, intelligent and masterful use of the camera and suspense building, all build up to a superb film that cannot be surpassed even if the film were to be adapted and 'improved' with the technology today.
