    Hitchcock was definitely a Director ahead of his time, just imagine the kind of films he would be directing now if he could.

    In Frenzy, Hitchcock builds up the characters before the big part of the story unleashes. A few familer faces, such as Bernard Cribbings, Billie Whitel...( read more)aw etc.

    The plot, I should imaginewas quite sinister in it's day and still makes really good viewing now.

    The darkest side of the genius was fully flourished in this rambunctious, violent, brutal and yet bizarrely amusing thriller. the last great Hitchcock film.

    Hitch's most recent movie worth seeing.

    British Giallo...Hitchcock finally being able to show, in delightfully grizzly detail, all of the quirks and fetishes that had laid under the surface in his previous films

    "Frenzy" was Alfred Hitchcock's next-to-last film. And though it's not a great classic like "Psycho" and "North by Northwest", it's still a very good movie. After making mostly American movies for four decades, Hitchcock returned to his native Britain to make "Frenzy". It's about...( read more) a series of murders that's devastating London. These murders have two things in common: 1) The victims are all women; and 2) they're all raped and then strangled with a neck-tie. When a marriage counselor is murdered this way, the police suspect the woman's ex-husband is the culprit. But actually the husband is innocent, and is forced to hide out from the cops. "Frenzy" has all the usual Hitchcock elements: thrills, suspense, comedy, and Hitchcock's cameo appearence. The two best scenes in the movie are the hilarious moments when the police inspector (who's heading up the investigation of the neck-tie murders) is served two gourmet dinners by his wife. These scenes are very funny. The comic moments is what gives "Frenzy" a edge over Hitchcock's previous film "Topaz". Plus, it's a more entertaining thriller.

    Alfred Hitchock really knows how to build up suspense and he does that very well with this movie. The acting was pretty top notch as I believe that with the script as well. Sometimes it goes a little slow, but he Hitchcock really takes his time to let the scene and the story play...( read more) out and that is were his master of suspense takes its shape. Not my favorite Hitchcock movie, but at least it was good.

    Frenzy is different Hitchcock, but it is basically more of a formulaic thriller rather than one of Hitchcock's memorable giants. The screenplay, however, has talent, the character development is decent and the conclusion was smarter than I thought it would be.

    73/100

    More convincing & less stupid than some of Hitch's other movies but still nothing special

    A good Hitchcock thriller about a maniac strangling women in London. A good cast and some memorable set-pieces make this one well worth watching.
