content: Compared to psychological thrillers like Psycho and Vertigo, this movie was disappointing at best. Rear Window is very slow and boring, and the audience loses its attention through much of the film. Of course the ending was surprising in typical Hitchcockian fashion, but there was no tension built through the film so the ending was very anti-climatic. However, I still recommend this film...if you want to catch a nice nap.
