Join the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock, on a chilling journey as an unsuspecting victim visits the Bates Motel and falls prey to one of cinema’s most notorious psychopaths – Norman Bates. Named number one on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Thrills list, this infamous film has become a cultural phenomenon.

None of Hitchcock’s films have ever given a clearer view of his genius for suspense than Rear Window. When professional photographer J.B. “Jeff” Jeffries (James Stewart) is confined to a wheelchair with a broken leg, he becomes obsessed with watching the private dramas of his neighbours play out across the courtyard.

When he suspects a salesman may have murdered his nagging wife, Jeffries enlists the help of his glamours socialite girlfriend (Grace Kelly) to investigate the highly suspicious chain of events… Events that ultimately lead to one of the most memorable and gripping endings in all of film history.

Set in San Francisco, James Stewart portrays an acrophobic detective hired to trail a friend’s suicidal wife (Kim Novak). After he successfully rescues her from a leap into the bay, he finds himself becoming obsessed with the beautifully troubled woman.

One of cinema’s most chilling romantic endeavours: it’s fascinating myriad of haunting camera angles shot among some of San Francisco’s renowned landmarks. This film is a must for collectors: Leonard Maltin gives Vertigo four stars and hails it as “A genuinely great motion picture that demands multiple viewings.”
