Movie Reviews of Shadow of a Doubt
Movie Review: " it brings murder back into the home where it belongs", hitchcock said
Summary: 5 Stars
this is hitchcock's greatest movie i think because it is so grounded in the ho-hum day to day life of a small town(santa rosa,calif.) and just as it gets you hooked that way it then pulls back the cover and you see the terror underneath the everyday world.
young girl(teresa wright)named charlie after he uncle and sole mate(joseph cotten in the best creepy role of a lifetime)decides to invite her uncle to come and visit,just to get some fun started. she is very happy to learn he is on his way here. what she doesn't know ,but we do,is that uncle charlie is a killer and hoping to out run two cops on his trail.
the rest is one of the best thrillers ever made! the tension is in the air and you are hooked till the very last frame. don't miss this one!!!!
Movie Review: There are Many Reasons to Watch this Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Simply put, if you are a fan of Hitchcock or film-noir then you will like this movie.
Some people avoid Hitchcock because some of his movies are slow. This film however, does not have that problem.
The film-noir element is wonderfully orchestrated. An older Charlie transforms his niece's (also named Charlie) world into a dark and sinister place. The uncle doesn't do this through violence, which is what makes the movie so captivating. Instead, his niece is horrified as she gradually realizes who her uncle is.
The directing of course, is amazing. Check out the light and shadow shots. Classic film-noir.
Finally, the acting is brilliantly executed.
Movie Review: Shadow of a Doubt
Summary: 5 Stars
Hitchcock shows us how close to home treachery may be found in "Shadow", a subtle yet riveting psychological thriller about a small-town serial killer. The director himself considered this one of his finest achievements. Penned by playwright Thornton Wilder and based on the infamous "Merry Widow Killer" case, "Shadow" maintains a nerve-rattling mood of menace throughout. Highlighted by a chilling performance from Cotten, this film gives diabolical new meaning to the adage, "You can't pick your family."Movie Review: The absolute BEST!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Best Hitchcock film, best American movie, best satire, best thriller, best snapshot of small town Americana, best insight into the underside of everyday life, best existential American film.
Breathtakingly written, breathtakingly photographed, breathtakingly acted, breathtakingly directed, breathtakingly brilliant. It never palls.
A true Classic.
