A darkly funny film from Hitchcock. It’s rewarding to return to Frenzy after some time has passed and reassess it quickly. As someone who takes pride in being English, I appreciate seeing the Master back in England, accurately portraying a London setting. The movie succeeds because we really connect with the atmosphere of the place and accept the characters who live there; Hitchcock handles this effortlessly. The plot holds up as solid thriller material: a disturbed individual is strangling women with neckties while the police pursue an innocent suspect...Does that sound familiar? It does, but Hitch, being Hitch, incorporates moments of humor alongside the suspenseful terror unfolding on screen. The actors perform adequately, and I think the fact that they aren’t well-known names actually contributes to a feeling of unease. A strength for Hitchcock here is developing the characters in an interesting way. The villain is remarkable because he could easily be someone you know—someone you'd rely on, but remove that disguise and you discover the brutal murderer that Hitchcock seems to enjoy presenting to us. Lovely...Lovely...LOVELY....LOVELY! Although its IMDb rating is approximately 7.5, I’ve always heard that Frenzy wasn’t particularly well-regarded, with accounts of America rejecting the film due to its London feel and tired discussions about the director having lost his touch. I don't know if those claims are accurate. However, what I do know is that Frenzy is a very good movie that makes me both uncomfortable and amused. It might not quite reach the level of a Hitchcock classic, but it’s still better than most other thriller directors could have possibly created during that time. 8/10
