I think you may be disappointed if you save those two for a special occasion. "Sabotage" is ok and it's fun to see how cute the old lady from Beetlejuice used to be... ... but Jamaica Inn is really bad. On paper it should be amazing: the source book by Daphne Du Maurier is a pretty good potboiler with a lot of atmosphere, Charles Laughton was at his peak, and Maureen O'Hara was beautiful, but none of it comes together. It's terrible. What makes it even more surprising is that Hichcock was able to make the somewhat similar movie "Rebecca" into a classic just a year or two later. There is a made for tv version of "Jamaica Inn" from 1983 that is much better, imo. It stars Jane Seymour and Patrick McGoohan. Have you watched any episodes of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"? Those may make some good Halloween viewing. A few good episodes off the top of my head: Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Revenge Where Beauty Lies Specialty of the House Man from the South No Pain Apex Poison A Man with a Problem The Right Kind of House None are So Blind The Alfred Hitchcock Hour: The Jar An Unlocked Window A few more non classic movies for the less discriminating: Deathdream (1972) The Entity (1981) Martin (1977) Dead & Buried (1981) Razorback (1984) Rituals (1977) Society (1989) Slither (2006) Dead Heat (1988) Long Weekend (1978) Suspense: No Place to Hide (1981) Murder by Natural Causes (1979) Last edited by Mennonite; 10-29-2016 at 08:03 AM.. |
