This is arguably the best of all of the hour-long Hitchcock episodes, and I would qualify that statement as relevant to those of us who are both Hitchcock and horror film fans. You know you are one if you think Psycho is Hitch's best film, but if you prefer the suspense and melodrama of, say, North by Northwest, then you'd probably rate this episode a wee bit lower. Fans of EC horror, and the old Creepy and Eerie mags of the 60s, will relish this great adaptation of a Ray Bradbury October Country story. The sets and atmosphere are claustrophobic and suffocating, like the JAR itself. You'll think you're watching Twilight Zone if you're not careful.
