What a strange film this is. Strange but very good. This has some of the most disturbing scenes I've seen in a Hitchcock film. The strangulation/rape scene is shocking. There is a little nudity and less blood but the whole thing is shown. And it's rough. In fact I almost fast-forwarded through it because it was very ugly. But it certainly has an impact. Then later there's a scene with a dead body that is practically "Weekend At Bernie's" in its absurdity. But somehow I was actually pulling for the killer to escape his predicament. How did Hitchcock manage to play that dirty trick on me (and likely other viewers too)? Anna Massey is really good as the steady and dependable Babs Milligan. But Barry Foster is amazing as Bob Rusk. He is a scumbag but a very charming scumbag. There's not a lot of those well-known trademark Hitchcock camera shots but there is a great extended shot when the camera pulls away from a room where something terrible is happening all the way out to the noisy city street. "Frenzy" is probably categorized as something from the thriller film genre but it plays like a very dark comedy much of the time.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat, cheering for the underdog the entire time. A perfect example of Hitchcock's work.

Alfred Hitchcock's penultimate film, “Frenzy,” marked a return to form for the master of suspense. After less successful forays into the world of espionage, he returned to a classic murder plot, which turned out very well. And, of course, there is once again a protagonist who is wrongly suspected. The director's black humor is also present. At the same time, “Frenzy” is probably Hitchcock’s most explicit film in terms of nudity and depictions of violence, with one murder in particular standing out. This also shows that he was still capable of evolving late in his career. It may not be the film that immediately springs to mind when talking about Hitchcock, but given its quality, it certainly deserves to be.

Kind of an odd entry in Hitchcock's "wrong man" canon, mostly because the movie seems far more interested in the villain than the wrong man himself. Finch mopes along from scene to scene but never has all that much to do, while the villain reveal happens quite early and in much detail. Still, it's fun suspense at times and there are the usual moments of Hitchcock humor which I like to see.

Another outing for Hitchcock's 'mistaken identity' story arc and the most graphic movie of his I've seen (to date). It features an excellent all British cast and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat [spoiler](I'll admit that part of me wanted to see if Hitchcock would give us a "fuck you" ending and have the guilty party get away with it)[/spoiler].
