August 4, 2009Some of my favorite Hitchcock 'moments', especially the amusement park scenes. Hitch takes a merry-go-round (could there be anything more innocuous?) and makes it nightmarishly threatening. Brilliant.

January 27, 2009One of the wittiest and most exciting pictures done by the master.
Robert Walker's performance stands out, as the presumptuous and presumably homosexual psychopath Bruno Anthony.
A nail-biting concatenation of events with delightfully twisted sense of humour, impeccably written a...( read more) -
January 20, 2009For just plain real-world, everyday scary, this Hitchcock is hard to beat. There really are psychopaths like Guy Haines, so beware of running into one of them.

January 21, 2010for hitchcock standard,.this looks pretty lame and un-shocking.,the idea is great, but the plot, with each minutes passing, becomes more and more convoluted.,and the ending is a weak typical holywood ending. That is just so not hitchcock for me

November 16, 2009Yes yes, very good and definately worth watching, but there are better films from Hitchcock if you ask me. The ending seemed a bit too much and suffered from flaws. Concerning the acting, especially Robert Walker performed well.

November 12, 2009Interesting premise poorly executed, Ridiculous unconvincing moments come one after another just to make the story progress or create excitement & thrills, for example Anne's sister's resembelance to Miriam & the way Anne suddenly becomes super-genius & discovers everything is hi...( read more)
