Directed by Alfred Hitchcock • 1972 • United Kingdom
Starring Jon Finch, Barry Foster, Barbara Leigh-Hunt
After more than three decades in Hollywood, Alfred Hitchcock returned to Britain to make his penultimate film, which finds the master pushing the boundaries of graphic violence to shocking effect. Grim yet darkly humorous, this twisty thriller centers on the search for a London serial killer who uses a necktie to strangle his victims—with a typically Hitchcockian “wrong man” (Jon Finch) caught in the middle. Something of a return to form for the director, FRENZY has come to be regarded by many as the last great “true” Hitchcock film.
