I noticed that the previous episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" was one that the other reviewers disliked...though I did. In the case of "The Right Kind of House", the roles are reversed and I didn't like it as much as the other reviewers...mostly because I could see the big twist LONG before it occurred and I think most viewers will also see it as well.
A man arrives in a small town and approaches a realtor about buying a very specific house and giving him a long story about falling in love with the town...which seems pretty dubious. You can't help but think he has very specific reasons for wanting that particular house...especially when the woman selling it wants a ridiculous amount for it (five times the normal asking price) and he STILL wants to buy it.
Overall, a story that was interesting but the twist just left me flat. Good but the current score of 8.7 seems amazingly high as this would seem to indicate some brilliance I just didn't see when I saw the show.
