Movie Reviews of Shock
Movie Review: Worth Watching
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie and well done. A young woman waiting in a hotel room for her husband (away at War, and whom she has not seen in a very long time), witnesses a murder in the room opposite. Reminiscent of "Rear Window". She goes into shock and that is the way her husband finds her when he arrives. The hotel calls a famous psychiatrist for help, the very man who his wife witnessed murdering a woman. The psychiatrist takes charge, whisking her away to his asylum and keeping her husband from her. Filled with suspense and with elements that seem Hitchkockian.
Summary of Shock
Film noir, a classic film style of the ?40s and ?50s, is noted for its dark themes, stark camera angles and high-contrast lighting. Comprising many of Hollywood?s finest films, film noir tells realistic stories about crime, mystery, femmes fatales and conflict.This post-World War II suspense thriller sets off an emotional roller coaster after the psychologically fragile wife of a POW (Anabel Shaw) witnesses a brutal murder from a hotel window while waiting to be reunited with her husband (Frank Latimer). By the time he arrives, she?s nearly comatose with shock. The hotel?s psychiatrist (Vincent Price) is called in to help. But just as she begins to recognize him as the murderer she saw, he realizes she was a witness to his crime. So he arranges to take her to his private sanitarium where he and his nurse-mistress (Lynn Bari) can insure that no one takes the young woman?s ravings seriously and they can secretly administer enough "treatment" to silence her forever. Meanwhile, her husband and the police begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems and as they get closer to the truth, this complex mystery takes some unexpected twists!
