a pretty much spot-on homage to Hitchcock and his device of placing a common man in an uncommon situation.

I particularly liked the music, which summoned up the ghost of Bernard Hermann. And which was great in its own right and perfectly suited to the visuals. And I liked the visuals, the sense of menace on this deserted island sanctuary, the strange glances from strangers in the background.

All in all, it was a very worthy entry in a classic tradition. And it works all the way up to the last memorable shot.
