If Sabotage hit the spot, these will too

Both are Alfred Hitchcock's work, and they rhyme

The same hand behind both of them: Alfred Hitchcock
The difference: Trades the stillness of Sabotage for an angle of its own

Both land stillness and tension at once

The same preoccupation in both: black and white
The difference: Takes it somewhere less tense than Sabotage does

Gritty drama, and it commits to that

Thriller with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both keep coming back to the same thing: black and white
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Both lean on tension more than on crime
The difference: Made in the 1970s, in a different era of the craft

Gritty drama in both cases

Thriller built on tension, twice over


Contemplative drama in both cases
