The Creepiest Movie Ever made...

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2002)

VERTIGO is one of my favourite Hitchcock movies, but not because I find it to be a beautiful love story, but because it makes you think. And because the 3rd Act (so to speak) is the creepiest thing I ever saw.

(Spoiler starts here) James Stewart Making Kim Novak look like his dead girlfriend is the creepiest, sickening thought imaginable. Makes my stomach turn and makes my skin crawl. A friend said "how sick is this guy" when he watched it, yet he liked the movie in the end. (Spoiler ends here).
This movie is haunting, and Scotty Ferguson is a person worth pittying. I can't help but feel a huge burden of sorrow whenever I watch this romantic thriller.
But one complaint.
(Spoiler starts here). The ending is unsatifying. I know this movie can't have a happy ending and I can't imagine James Stewart and Kim Novak walking down the stairs with a "The End" and romantic music playing. If they could have found another way to end this that doesn't seem so forced then I would have had a better sad ending.(Spoiler ends here).
For anyone who loves a good art-house movie, Vertigo is for you. One of Hitchcock's best.
