Rear Window
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
L.B. Jeffries, an injured photojournalist confined to his tiny, sweltering courtyard apartment with nothing to do but look out on his unsuspecting neighbors through the film's titular portal. It's all harmless voyeuristic fun until during one hot, restless night he thinks he witnesses a man murder his wife. The dazzling Kelly joins as the fashion plate girlfriend who helps him solve the crime. Fantastically paced and edited, this celebrated classic continues to entertain new generations as Hitchcock's most enduring and well-crafted work.
A photographer who suspects his neighbor of murder enlists his girlfriend to help investigate.
Cast: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey

great film
You've got to see Rear Window, which I'd rank as a top-three Hitchcock along with Psycho and Notorious.
So good
A gentle reminder: Shudder very clearly advertises this platform as a place for not just horror but also SUSPENSE, THRILLER, and SCI-FI so please kindly shut it about movies (such as this one) not being horror! Your arguments that some films shouldn’t be on here because they aren’t horror are effing IRRELEVANT!! FFS
An absolute classic and one of the best movies ever made. I wouldn't qualify it as a horror film, like Psycho and the Birds, but it definitely has its scary moments. A suspense masterpiece.
