Director: Sacha Gervasi
Rated: PG-13
Length: 98 min.
This biographical tale of infamous director Alfred Hitchcock and the making of his most infamous film, Psycho, is an exemplary depiction of the master of suspense. With a star studded cast that includes the likes of the great Anthony Hopkins (Alfred Hitchcock) and the timeless Helen Mirren (Alma Reville), to the lovely leading ladies of Scarlett Johansonn (Janet Leigh) and Jessica Biel (Vera Miles); this film has all the ingredients for an instant classic. Delving much deeper into the life of 'Hitch', this film portrays his problems with alcoholism, obseity and leading lady obessions to a very tee. The nostalgia brought forth by the scenes depicted in Psycho make this film something of historical value. And fortunately, the underlying love story bewteen Hitch and Alma doesn't get in the way of portraying how Alfred changed the way we look at horror films forever. This is a must-see for any Hitchcock fans, and might even be worth a gander for those who wanna take a peek into the life of the man who laid down the blueprint for all suspenseful thrillers for years to come. Hitchcock.
