Finally a horror movie worth seeing. Zemeckies is a real fine artist. To the pure Hitchcock style, he recreated the "smart" horror flick.
Even paying homage to the master himself, by recreating scenes obviously inspired by such classics as; Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho and Marnie. Not only did the Forest Gump director only recreated scenes, he also took some clichés Alfred Hitchcock took in his films, for example; beautiful women, a staircase, alcool, and splendid car scenes...
This intense film, has a powerful and intense soundtrack as well. We can directly link this with the superb music Bernard Hermann composed for many of Hitchcock's classics.
Robert Zemeckis took a close attention to the visual details in this film. Making smart suspenseful camera movements. Taking the present special effect technology, without taking it to a level which would give it a overly done display of cinematographical stupidity, in occurrence Star Wars...!!
Pfeiffer is stunning in this drama. We are reminded of maybe Tippy Hedren or the beautiful Grace Kelly. Her portryal of a woman slowly going mad is perhaps one of the most charming aspects of this film. Ford delivers a powerhouse performance as always, I would even say, slightly more incredible in this one. We can't help but notice an interesting mixture of Norman Bates and Scotie Ferguson (Vertigo).
Not just Hitchcock has Zemeckis been inspired or influenced in this film, but numerous movies and directors. I saw a scene, which I thought was inspired by the "big" film, Titanic. I saw a direct link to last years block buster "The Sixth Sense" with visuals almost as good as that scary thriller. I did also detect a hint of the classic terror film, Cape Fear, with a deadly twist and mindbending conclusion.
For all of you who are sick of all that comercial dog crap, like Pokemon or X-men, and want to re-live the days when acting and film making was an art, please by all means, SEE this film........
