Movie Reviews of Frenzy
Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
The movie that showed what Hitchcock could do when film censorship died down, Frenzy is a graphic telling of his favorite theme, the man wrongfully accused; though the first half can be a little slow (violent murders notwithstanding), the film really picks up in the second hour and delivers a good amount of tension with a wonderful ending and last line.
Movie Review: Creepy
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the most creepy Hitchcock of all the one's I have seen. Beyond that the acting is excellent and the story compelling. Great shots of London in the 70's. The documentary included with the DVD is excellent.Movie Review: Solid Hitchcock suspense, but his powers were waning
Summary: 3 Stars
This has all the hallmarks of classic Hitchcock: a good man is turned victim of the system by bad luck, and must fight to exonerate himself while threatening his soul by seeking vengeance. The baddie is a serial killer who is revealed early on, so there is no guessing about who's who. There is also plenty of humor, both extremely grizzly (legs hanging out of potato sack) and mundane (British food anxieties).
Unfortunately, something about the chemistry of this film just doesn't work very well. At least for me, I couldn't quite believe it and did not get wrapped in a separate world, away from my own concerns. This is a very late film from the master, whose collaborator wife had recently passed away, and his imaginative energy simply cannot match the extraordinary qualities we expect from his film of the 50s and 60s.
REcommended only for the most serious of Hitchcock fans.
