Review of Asylum

Asylum (I) (1972)
6/10
Hitchcock would have highly approved.

Admittedly I was somewhat reserved in my ranking on this one. All the stories had more of Alfred's taste in them (I would assume via the director). I will understate my drooling, obvious prejudice over Charlotte Rampling. Anything she is in makes any movie worthwhile. The shorts themselves were all good standing alone in their own right. Trying to tie the last one together was a little loose. I couldn't be sure if this was the writer or the director's issue. At any rate, the movie, as a whole, was worth the watch. Though, I probably won't view it again anytime soon. Also, because I have been a decades long enthusiast of Hitchcock, I felt that the "hair raising" factor was missing in the presentations. One story in particular had really reworked an old endearing plot....you can decide which. At any rate, if you haven't put the popcorn on yet, do so now. Sit back and enjoy and above all else trust no one.......Q(:-}
