i didn't expect such a masterpiece.
its insane how well the tension is, it effortlessly flows and i was engaged the whole way threw.
its also just really funny how confident the guy was but when he got caught he remained chill asf.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meticulously plotted thriller about a man orchestrating his wife's murder, where every detail matters and nothing goes as planned. Hitchcock wrings unbearable suspense from confined spaces and the collision of multiple people holding deadly secrets.
