Danger, intrigue, romance...and a touch of kinkiness!

A psychiatrist with intense acrophobia (fear of heights) goes to work for a mental institution run by doctors who appear to be crazier than their patients, and have secrets that they are willing to commit murder to keep.

Ian Nathan · Empire 40.00/100.00

As with all great spoofers, you can feel the love the director has for Hitchcock, the thoroughness of his jokes vouches for that and the entire plot is loosely based on Spellbound. Perhaps, he was too devoted, the film lacks daring, it’s soft, Hitch would have sneered at such weakness.

米粒 4.00/5.00

超级搞笑,希区柯克影迷必看,群鸟电话谋杀案迷魂记惊魂记样样都有,而且特别认真懂行,细节多多(女主衣服发型等),可以说是粉丝模仿的最高级了😂。更别说还取到了安东尼奥尼《放大》的精华,笑到厥过去。就是到最后剧情有点糊弄人了,可是这种恶搞电影剧情差就差点吧!希胖粉切勿错过!

Roger Ebert · Chicago Sun-Times 63.00/100.00

One of the problems with Mel Brooks's High Anxiety is that it picks a tricky target: It's a spoof of the work of Alfred Hitchcock, but Hitchcock's films are often funny themselves. And satire works best when its target is self-important.
