Not one of Hichcock's best in my opinion. The plot involves a serial killer...

Hitchcock's second to last film could be looked on as a homage to Herschel Gordon Lewis. The villain (Bob Rusk) as played by Barry Foster has mannerisms very similar to the character Fuad Ramses played by Lewis' star, Mal Arnold, in the…

I'm among those who feel Hitchcock hit his artistic peak with Psycho in 1960. After that, his films went in steady decline, though a few of them do have their champions, chief among them being The Birds, Marnie, and Frenzy. Frenzy is of…

FRENZY contains a very disturbing rape scene, maybe not as disturbing as the one in Gaspar Noé's IRREVERSIBLE or Richard Brooks' LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR, but still very intense after 45 years. Yes, the lead actor, Jon Finch, is hard to…

I saw Frenzy when it came out in 1972. Now that I have seen the write-ups about real serial killers and their unfortunate victims, I don't enjoy this film at all! The stars are forgettable. The only real humor is watching the police…

Laughable, over-rated, Hitchcock psycho-shlock.

Perhaps not in the top ten of Hitchcock films, nonetheless this is another gripping tale of murder from the master of suspense. I find this film to be more visceral and raw than any of Hitch's other films- and definitely worth watching if…

(Movie quote) - "Now, do I look like that sort of a bloke??" OK. Here's my slant on things - For starters - "Frenzy" was certainly no "Psycho". Nope - Not even by a long-shot. And, speaking about "Psycho" - Character Bob Rusk (the…

Hitchcock goes Tarantino -- while Tarantino was in elementary school. Frenzy is one of the films often cited as evidence of Hitchcock's misogyny (the other being The Birds; but well, there was some personal motivation there.) Frankly, I…

Graphically tame by modern standards (what would Hitchcock think of the Final Destination franchise?), yet effective & arguably necessary to establish the dichotomy in the killer's personality. The entire plot of this film falls apart with…

Hitchcock’s penultimate film, a curious mix of bleak humour and disturbing violence, actually garnered a British “X” rating upon its initial release…the only one of his films to do so. Darker and more explicit than the usual Hitchcock…

Hitchcock's penultimate film and the one in which he embraced more graphic violence with decidedly mixed results. He had been in steady decline since the early 60s and while their are flashes of his genius, it's a rather conventional movie…

This is another Hitchcock masterpiece and I know there are others that disagree. It has a great script, great acting and the soundtrack fits the action perfectly. So what hang up could one have on Frenzy? No famous actor or actresses,…

That review is nothing but dead white male bashing from a p.c. thug! This film is a pretty great piece of work, exhibiting Hitchock's usual mastery of suspense. Sure it's shocking, but I think it's impressive "Hitch" changed with the…

The film that ensured the end of Hitchcock as the great director. Shocking and self-indulgent, this film makes one wish Hitch had retired years earlier. One wonders if someone shouldn't have reined him in or led him directly to therapy. …
