Very Good

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2009)

Vertigo is one of Hitchcock's best movies. This is the 5th one I have seen and it is definitely up there with Psycho, and Rear Window. James Stewart performance is very good. James Stewart plays a recently retired detective who just recently discovered he has a severe fear of heights and gets dizzy when approaching them. This is the result of a traumatic experience he had on the job. But he is assigned to observe a woman who is acting very strange according to her husband. Her husband claims she is possessed by her insane great-grandmother. During his investigation he see's how this could be true. Or it could just be a plot. He discovers more and more suspicious facts about the woman, but he also finds he is attracted to her. But this is just about halfway through the movie. There is still a lot of suspense and a few plot twists in this thriller. It is one of my favorite movies, and is most definitely worth watching.
