I hadn't seen a Hitchcock movie in quite some time and to honest I have never been a big Hitchcock fan. I picked up Frenzy off the shelf and figured that I might as well try it. Besides the back of the DVD said it alternated "suspense scenes with moments of Hitchcock's distinctive black humor".
The Good:
Amazing use of silence throughout the picture.
The "black humor" actually made me laugh out loud a few times. Especially the potato truck scene and the inspector's wife.
Odd twists.
First R-rated Hitchcock film.
Jon Finch gave a good performance, believable.
The Bad:
Slow pacing compared to today's films (not necessarily bad, just be aware).
A few characters were a little 2 dimesional.
The end disappointed me a little.
Overall: I enjoyed this film. It had merit and character, I give it a 2/3 Double Indemnity.
