Frenzy - 1972 - 7/10
One of Hitchcock’s final films flirts with slasher territory.
London is menaced by the Necktie Killer, a vicious serial murderer.
The slayings are gruesome in this, as are some of the disposals.
Nonetheless, black humor runs like a giggling corpse throughout.
Scenes are an expertly arranged flow of suspense, uneasy laughter, deception.
If you know your Hitchcock chronology, this really makes up for several previous outings.
