This is a very fine Hitchcock film that, unfortunately, doesn’t get the love that it should.

filme bacana, o roteiro legal, o final muito bom que trata de um matador e estrupador de mulheres, e tem uma história interresante, Alfred Hitchcock fez uma direção boa.

Perhaps the only time Hitchcock was able to go as far as he wanted. That being said the reason to see this is for Shaffer's darkly witty screenplay.

Not quite up to the standards of his masterpieces but wonderful to see a quality Hitchcock I hadn't seen before!

A dark and forbidding tone of Hitchcock bringing the wrong man thriller into the 1970's. It has style and presence with an excellent cast lead by Barry Foster. The Score leads a simply but effect suspenseful film and climaxes in satisfy conclusion. This is the way to make a 70's thriller from the old guard.

A depressing film about a guy who strangles women and frames someone else for it. I didn't really feel we got much of an explanation for why the culprit did what he did...it's not what I'd consider one of Hitchcock's better films. I think its one of his last ones, dating from the 1970s I believe. I wouldn't particularly recommend it, no.

There's a necktie killer on the loose in the city of London but who could it be? Everyone's in a frenzy thanks to the master of suspense himself, the late Alfred Hitchcock The body of a woman is found in the Thames river The short-tempered ex-Royal Air Force officer Richard Blaney (Jon Finch) discovers his ex-wife (Barbara Leigh-Hunt) murdered, Blaney becomes a suspect Forced to go on the run, Blaney attempts to take refuge with his best friend, fruit merchant Bob Rusk (Barry Foster), however Rusk may, in fact, be the necktie murderer himself Who knows for sure... A love letter to Hitchcock's home for sure--it's riddled with violent sexual fantasies, misogyny and grotesque greed It arguably gives a more tangible insight into the thoughts and desires of one of the most lauded directors of all time Certainly uncomfortable and has 'odd peculiarities' Yeah this didn't need to be 2 hours and could've used more solid thrills I think it was a mistake to show the killer way too early The suspense is still working though and that ending leaves quite the punch Very unsettling in this filmmaker's collection but has typical grim comedy and insight into a psychopathic killer's mind Maybe it could've moved more swiftly but Hitchcock coming home serves him well

I'd seen this movie on 온라인카지노추천 back in the 1970s when I was a teenager. At that time, I found it ugly and needlessly brutal — but, all these decades later, I still remembered several things so I rewatched it today. The best moment of the film is the famous, nearly silent, backward camera shot when the rapist killer enters an apartment with his next victim. In the 1970s, I found that sad but not in a good way — disturbing in that the victims were treated like props in comparison to the men. Today I enjoyed the technical brilliance of that moment, but the rest of the movie seems like one of Hitchcock's worst "wrong man" movies. The musical score, while praised by many critics and others, seemed completely wrong to me. Not a complete waste of time, but not a good movie. Not as boring as Torn Curtain or Topaz which preceded it, but not worthy in the Hitchcock canon.

Um dia estava procurando um filme desse antigos para assistir e me aparece esse de nome 'Frenesi' com muitos mistérios, e algumas cenas até parecem reais, com a incessante busca do criminoso que enforcava as mulheres depois de abusá-las. E quem diria que o criminoso não era o ex de uma das vítimas mas sim o melhor amigo dele, mostrando que alguns criminosos podem estar bem debaixo de nossos narizes.

Alfred Hitchcock is known for the elongated suspense in his movies. In Frenzy, his experimenting with it reaches its peak. And of course those bits of witty humor are not lacking.

A great 1970s horror movie, it relies on storytelling to create a great piece instead of in supernatural elements, it's a good watch.

This is a good movie, and worth watching, but it could have been better. The rape scene and nudity seem gratuitous and forced. The iconic murder scene in Psycho was so great precisely because it wasn't explicit. I felt disappointed that Hitchcock went that route. However, the story was pretty good (not great) and Barry Foster played a fine villain. It was so-so.

Rumour has it that Michael Caine turned down the role of the sexual killer in this film, stating that he didn't want to be associated with that sort of a character. Which is funny, because I didn't find that out until after I'd seen the film, and thought to myself that the maniac in question looked a lot like Michael Caine. Hitchcock's penultimate film has divided critics down the years; it's without doubt one of his most controversial pieces, and the particular scene in it that garners it an 18 certificate is no easy watch. There's also some troubling attitudes early on towards the matter of rape; one man at a bar commenting on the murders upon hearing of the prior sexual assault laughs and states ‘every cloud.' This is no normal Hitchcock affair. I have to say I was rather impressed by Frenzy. It gives backstory to the man framed for several sexual assaults/murders, as well as the killer himself; but most impressively, adds a highly amusing backstory to the detective in charge of the case, consisting of him discussing the case with his wife during her over zealous dinners that she likes to cook- much to the detectives chagrin. There are some excellent tracking shots throughout Frenzy; the opening of the film is a beautiful swooping long-shot of London's various attractions before falling on the scene of the first body being found, and there's another menacing tracking shot away from the murderer's apartment after he's closed the door behind him having brought a victim in. There is also a superb hold your breath sequence on the back of a potato truck in which the killer jumps on to retrieve a piece of evidence that could incriminate him that he's left on a body he's just thrown on the truck, a move that ultimately comes back to trouble him. Frenzy isn't Hitchcock at his most impressive or surprising, but this is a director making a film that shows all the traits of someone whose been down this well trodden path a while now, and although he may have used up all his shocks over the years, was still well capable of pushing the boundaries and producing great entertainment.

No one replace great old master Hitch.

Without doubt, Frenzy is a Hitchcock masterpiece. The cinematography is breathtaking, including the famous scene in which the camera backs away from the upstairs room in which a murder has happened, and then it backs down the stairs and into the busy London street. Pure cinematic genius. Unfortunately, the sexual sadism in this film is hard to take. The film's most infamous murder scene would give today's members of the Me Too movement apoplexy. Hitchcock was always a misogynist: Consider what he put his blonde actresses through in his earlier films like Psycho and The Birds. At least in those days, he wasn't able to do anything too graphic. But here, in the permissive 70's, he holds nothing back. Regardless of the tastelessness of that singular scene, this movie is as good as anything Hitchcock ever made. Some critics consider it his penultimate work. It's absolutely riveting, beautifully paced and directed, and a marvel to look at. Hitchcock may not have been women's best friend, but like many geniuses, I guess we have to take the good with the bad.

Classic Hitchcock innocent man on the run, suspense thriller. It showed that even at age 72 Hitchcock still had the ability to shock and terrify. Returning to the murder genre after two lukewarm Cold War thrillers, Hitchcock was back on form as he returned to his native land one last time to tell the tale of a depraved serial killer. It is arguably the most gruesome, graphic and disturbing film in his canon. One particular delight of the film is Hitchcock showing yet again on multiple occasions how effective a suspense tool silence can be. Jon Finch, fresh off playing Macbeth, is very fine in the lead role as the complex Richard Blaney as the downtrodden man accused of something he didn't do. Barry Foster is terrific in the role of the archetypal Hitchcock charming psychopath. The role was rumoured to have been offered to Michael Caine first and Helen Mirren was also offered a role in this film which she declined and then later regretted. The last sign of the Master of Suspense's genius is a must watch.

A little slow in developing. Better acting would have helped. A transparent script makes building suspense very difficult. Probably worth watching, but not one of Hitchcock's best.

Hitchcock's return to England is one of his last greats

Un altro grandissimo capolavoro di Hitchcock, nonchè uno dei miei preferiti del Maestro. Ricco di suspense e di colpi di scena incredibili.
