Additional InformationFRENZY was Alfred Hitchcock's penultimate film--and the first film he'd made in England in 20 years. Based on an Arthur La Bern novel, the film focuses on many of the same motifs that Hitchcock had obsessively examined throughout his life's work: the wrong man theme, doubling (in which one person acts out the repressed violence of another), and the general public's thirst for sex and violence. Hitchcock had made films featuring Jack the Ripper-type killers before, including THE LODGER in 1926, a silent movie about a series of murders in London and a mysterious man who appears to be guilty of the crimes. In FRENZY, Hitchcock goes mod with this blackly comic story about a sex criminal--the Necktie Killer--plaguing post-Carnaby London. An innocent man who is suspected by police as the murderer must fight to nab the real perpetrator and clear his name. Though not as well-known as his other films, FRENZY marked a striking return to form for the famed director. Anthony Shaffer's script is excellent, and Jon Finch brings distinctive qualities to his role as the classic Hitchcock man-accused hero.

  • A highly enjoyable film.

    Hitchcock at his best. The film may at first appear dated, but this does nothing to detract from its brilliant direction, its great storyline, and as always in his films,Hichcock's added touch of humour, nicely balanced with a thrilling and at times violent story.

  • Memories

    I remember seeing this film in my teenage years and had not seen it since the late 1970's. whilst it is not as iconic as some other Hitchcock greats it certainly captures the social history of London in the 70's and is well worth watching. Iconic shots of Covent Garden as it was are excellent.

  • First class film.

    Excellent film, but some scenes are definitely not for those of a sensitive nature.
