Frenzy


Frenzy is a 1972 British thrillerpsychological horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The second to last feature film of his extensive career, it is often considered by critics and scholars to be his last great film before his death. The screenplay by Anthony Shaffer was based on the novel Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square by Arthur La Bern.

Frenzy was the third film Hitchcock made in Britain after he moved to Hollywood in 1939. The other two were Under Capricorn in 1949 and Stage Fright in 1950 although there were some interior and exterior scenes filmed in London for the 1956 remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much. The last film he made in Britain before his move to America was Jamaica Inn 1939.In London, a serial killer is raping women and strangling them with neckties. Most of the film takes place in Covent Garden, which at the time was still the wholesale fruit and vegetable market district. Fairly early in the film, the audience sees that fruit merchant Robert Rusk Barry Foster is in fact the murderer. However, circumstantial evidence has already built up around his friend Richard Blaney Jon Finch. ........
