A girl comes to believe her beloved uncle is a murderer.
Sinekatalog’s take
Hitchcock's personal favourite brings a charming serial killer to stay with his small-town family. Slow-burning and chilling, it finds menace in domestic warmth, and Joseph Cotten is superb.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
