dementomstie 's review for:
The Hitchcock Hotel
by Stephanie Wrobel
This is fine, but if this was supposed to feel like a Hitchcock movie it fell short of the mark.
There's some good twists, and I liked how the POV changed, but there are some plot threads that go nowhere.
With all the talk of 'Rope' it's inevitable that there's an attempt at a perfect crime, and the story does a good job of playing with your expectations, but it's just not a Hitchcock feel to it. There's even a line saying how Hitchcock didn't like murder mystery stories, which is why all his movies are horror/thriller.
So, by the point that this becomes a murder mystery I thought it had kind of lost the connection to Hitchcock.
It's still a good mystery though.
