Review of Shadow of a Doubt (1943) by Timothy F — 24 Feb 2008
Whereas Psycho changed the way the world viewed showers, and Jaws made swimming in the ocean forever less appealing, and even Diabolique led us all to view swimming pools with cynicism, Shadow of a Doubt shows us that something as benign as "family" can become horrifying and evil.
Hitchcock took the fright out of old European castles and dark back alleys and put it right smack-dab in our living rooms. It raises the question, "Is something sinister sitting across from you at the dinner table every night?" .
..well? ...is it?
