The movie has it's flaws but there are some incredibles moments such as the potato truck scene or the camra leaving the scene...

First Hitchcock I actually enjoyed. It feels like a period piece set in 1970's London instead of just "a film from the 70's". But I can't leave without mentioning the absurd sexism parcel for his work.

A corpse hidden in a potato sack, several incredibly modern film experimentations like the silences in the middle of a street scene, the superb travelling while Babs is being murdered in Rusk's apartment. A thriller deserving to be redicovered. Highly recommended.

This film is FANTASTIC. It's a true Hitchcock masterpiece in my opinion and after almost almost 50 years he returns to his original genre...the British Detective Murder Mystery film! With that certain Giallo touch and a step in a new direction in his Career...a clever, stylized kind of seediness.

There are 2 really good brutal scenes in this: The murder and then an attempt at recovering evidence from the corpse. But this movie is all over the place. The hero is unpleasant, the perspective keeps changing and the ending falls flat. The trailer Hitch did for this is classic. This is pretty uneven.

It's been my dream since I was about 8 to make Kaleidoscope Frenzy. This film is marevelous and should have been the thing he went out on rather than Family Plot as it represented a major departure from his established style and proved he still had it in him to make a truly shocking film. But I'd still love to make the film he never got to, I've had the rejected footage in my head for a very long time.

This is a terrible film. Probably one of Hitchcock's worst. But I can't really blame the guy, you can't hit homeruns all the time.

Stodgy thriller with rather incongruous dollops of breast nudity and a view of Old London Town as if stuck in a Victorian fog. However Hitchcock never entirely lets you down and stages some effective moments of terror undercut with customary blackly comic touches. Despite all this you never quite loose the sense of an old man enviously eyeing-up the possibilities afforded to The Clockwork Straw Devils of the time.

Worth watching for such a disturbing rape scene. Quite explict but you actually don't see much if you know what I mean.

I go back and forth on this one. Definitely doesn't have the suspense of his earlier work but it has some really great moments. It does feel as though Hitchcock lost some of his craft when he didn't have to dodge censors anymore. The rape sequence is horrifying.

The darkest side of the genius was full-fledged in this rambunctious, violent, brutal and yet bizarrely amusing thriller. the last great Hitchcock film.
