Our take

Billed at its time as “the most frightening film since Psycho,” this ‘70s homage to all things Hitchcock by his biggest fan Brian De Palma, overflows with slasher artifice, split screen bravura and glorious plot twists. Bernard Herrmann’s score is chilling, and the descent into madness irresistible.
