There are amazing things about it. 4 outta 5.

Engaging, intense, clever and beautifully, albeit a little weirdly, shot. The long takes must’ve been a pain in the ass to get right.

An amazing combination of tension, macabre comedy and interesting subtext. One of a kind watch. My favourite Hitchcock flic.

Forse il film più vecchio che ho visto, mi è piaciuto molto anche se esso si concentri solo su un luogo unico

Hitchcockian classic. Made ahead of its time with "one-take" shots and real-time format. All that suspense in that apartment? Very clever.

Alfred Hitchcock has a way of keeping me on the edge of my seat. Also the actor playing Brandon bears an uncanny resemblance to Ben affleck.

Edited to look like 1 continuous shot in 1948. Pretty impressive. Storyline isn't the best from Hitchcock but it's still a cool watch.
