- Synopsis
- London is terrorised by a vicious sex killer known as the neck tie murderer. Following the brutal slaying of his ex-wife, down-on-his-luck Richard Blaney is suspected by the police of being the killer. He goes on the run, determined to prove his innocence. Mixing black comedy and Hitchcock's most gruesome violence since Psycho, Frenzy covers classic Hitchcock territory of violent sexual deviance and the thin line between innocence and guilt.

-
-
"The mixture of dry wit and terror is expert. Hitchcock, who was 73 when he directed, demonstrates all his old skill and romantic pessimism."
