4/10
Very disappointing, unoriginal (spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
Some of the problems that I had with the movie had to do with location. I am very familiar with the location where the light house was supposed to be. It does not exist and never did, so that whole part was a stretch for me. The plot and story borrowed heavily from Hitchcock, but not well. Too many things happened that did not seem possible, as another reviewer pointed out, the escape from the mental institute, the grabbing of the dumb bell from the cable cars etc. I can understand how people would like it if they have not seen "Vertigo" "North by Northwest" "Rear Window" and numerous other Hitchcock films. All of the actors and actresses are pretty people, easy to look at. I don't recommend it if you are at all familiar with Hitchcock, it will disappoint.
