Hitchcock Retrospective: FRENZY

JUNE 5 | Frenzy (1972)

Starring: Jon Finch, Alec McCowen

M**der, mistrust, and brutality unleashed.

Returning to London after decades in Hollywood, Hitchcock strips away restraint in Frenzy, his most explicit and savage thriller. With dark humor, shocking violence, and a wrong-man narrative pushed to its limits, the film confronts the audience with a colder, more cynical vision of justice—one that reflects both a changed world and a fearless late-career master at work.
