Two-Sentence Movie Reviews

Frenzy (1972)

The hero is an asshole who appears resistant to sense, the villain is far more icky than scary, the doctor/"psychiatrist" apparently misread the definition of sociopaths, the main investigator's running gag is his love of British "cuisine, " other characters are British stereotypes, and the most memorable line is a throwaway from the first scene and more or less incomprehensible, as it is about "pulling tits." It's slow, dim, and mistakes rapid speech as wit; it may be Hitchcock, but not every hit is out of the park- this is not a keeper.

New feature- representative quotes:
"The potato business is poison. Always was."
