Sep 22, 2014Murder Pact Between Strangers/Psycho-Thriller
One of the most darkly engrossing of Alfred Hitchcock's thrillers, a classic about two strangers who make a murder pact after meeting on a train. Where any other director would have made a straight thriller, Hitchcock lingers on the mordant humour with unnerving effect

Sep 11, 2003Reincarnation Thriller
Considered one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films, this is a study in obsession and features a reincarnation plot. What works more so than the contrived plot twists is Hitchcock’s expert direction, all thunderously brooding mood and lush Technicolor dreaminess

Feb 6, 2001Psycho-Thriller
One of the defining classics of the genre, enormously influential, muchly imitated and parodied and possibly the most over-analysed film ever. Alfred Hitchcock expertly creates a creepy psycho-thriller in which he delights in lulling us and undermining expectation

The Birds (1963)
Rating: ★★★★½
Mar 6, 2000Birds Attack Humanity
Alfred Hitchcock's classic film inspired a series of Nature's Revenge films throughout the 1970s. Expectedly, Hitchcock creates masterful set-pieces but the most effective thing the film does is to remove explanations creating a work of anxious uncertainty
