This film was simple brilliant; it is the best Hitchcock that I have watched so far. The music is perfectly timed to play with both the minds and emotions of the viewer. The fact that the whole story is based off of real/plausible events makes it all the more frightening. Hitchcock takes advantage of many tools in order to trick the viewers mind into being afraid. All the violence in the film is implied through various camera angles and movements, so all the fear essentially comes from the viewers own mind because everything is only implied. Every detail of this film built up to its dramatic ending! From the famous shower scene murder, to the symbolic use of stuffed birds at the hotel. The dialogue during the scene in the hotel was very well written, and had foreshadowing cleverly placed throughout it. Through this film Hitchcock truly earns his title as master of suspense.
