Plot
Two young men murder a friend and host a party with the body in the room.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hitchcock's experiment appears to unfold in one continuous take. Two students murder a friend for the thrill, then host a dinner party over the body. A compact, nervy exercise in suspense.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
