Hard to get into


Let me preface this by saying I am not someone who dislikes and/or is bored by silent films, Wings is still one of my all-time favorite movies, never really left me. I've also seen and enjoyed The General. I'm a huge Hitchcock fan and seen a good number of them (still working my way through the ones I have yet to watch).

This was just difficult to really get into for some reason. Not like any other Hitchcock film I've seen so far where you're engrossed in the story and have at least a couple characters who really grab your interest, if not the entire cast. The story also didn't really feel at all suspenseful to me, not really any subtlety like Hitchcock's future work.

Still worth a view as it's his "first real film" as Hitchcock himself put it.

Just my opinion

it's a short film stretched to 90 minutes. A movie to watch while you're on your smartphone
