The best Hitchcock, despite pop list's saying otherwise.
Can it get any longer and slower?
It's psychological horror at its best.
My favorite Hitchcock film, and one of my favorite movies of all time. The acting, the compelling imagery, the beautiful score, all make this a classic. I always show it to women when it seems like we might be entering a relationship so they know exactly what kind of person I am.
