The movie is about a study in fear. I was reading Leonard Maltin's review, and he seems to state there were "virtually no scares" in the movie. I was really scared. Perhaps people are getting desensitized because the movies are getting more and more graphic, more special effects, more deaths, more explosions. I think that what made Hitchcock's movies scary was what your mind put into the movie; suggestive, not graphic. I will not watch movies that will bring fear to my mind. My husband picked this one and we watched it together. I though it was just as scary as "The Shining." As far as scary goes it gets a ten on my fear scale. If you are into suspense and a good scare this is a good one.
