WTF
Reviewed by Meg for Suspicion at 2010-04-07 17:08:15
Why is this such an overlooked Hitchcock?! Such a great story, with the typical Hitchcock touch of a blonde being terrorized, and by Cary Grant, playing a shady (suspicious?) guy for one of the few times in his career! If only he could've been the murderer like Hitchcock wanted...

Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Reviewed by IlozZoc for The Bride of Frankenstein at 2009-12-08 15:59:40
To entice Whale back to the laboratory he was practically given carte blanche to direct his way, which he did, by greatly loosening conventionality with his caustic wit tempered by derision for having to succumb to commercial necessity, and by an unbridled flair for pushing boundaries; all of which combine to produce a less serious and less sedate film than Frankenstein, but far grander. Bride of Frankenstein borders on the outrageous; part parody, part satire, it is a reluctant parable touched with fantasy that periodically explodes into quintessential horror theatrics, providing Whale with a lucrative vehicle to poke fun at domestic relationships, the budding horror genre he helped foster, and allow him to lay bare his inner struggle between his homosexuality and society's ambivalence toward it. Henry, the Monster, Elizabeth, Pretorius, the townspeople, all represent parts of Whale's tag team match with his inner demons, yearning for, while disgusted with, a social conventionality he can never attain, but still desires deeply. http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2009/11/bride-of-frankenstein.html

Blood not needed
Reviewed by queenmango for Rear Window at 2009-07-21 22:51:44
This movie is a classic example of how Alfred Hitchcock used suspense instead of blood and gore to scare and thrill. I love this movie especially becasue of the beginning scenes of the life of an apartment owner. It is wonderful.
