Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The best that can be said is there are bats in the belfry and a well-preserved corpse in the basement. What else can one do but scream?
It blazed a bloody trail for the much-loved slasher cycle, but it also assured us that a B-movie could be A-grade in quality and innovation.
An unusual, good entertainment, indelibly Hitchcock, and on the right kind of boxoffice beam.
Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece blends a brutal manipulation of audience identification and an incredibly dense, allusive visual style to create the most morally unsettling film ever made.
