Review of Frenzy (1972) by Dominic S — 16 Jun 2014
It's so interesting to think that this is Hitchcock's first ever R-rated film he has ever directed.
Before the film was released, film ratings were officially introduced, leaving Hitchcock responsible for an R-rated film instead of one that was just "Approved" for audiences. This allowed Hitchcock to introduce nudity into his film, which he did.
"Frenzy" takes place in London and is about a 30-something year old man, Blaney, who is said to be the infamous Necktie Murder. But he is innocent and his friend, Rusk, is actually the sadistic killer.
This film is racy, intense and a good watch.
Definitely watch if you're a film buff and enjoy Hitchcock films. You'll love to watch as to how Hitchcock got to make his first R-rated film.
Frenzy, I give you an 80%.
