The ending, much copied, is justly famous. But it’s the implacable build-up that seals its classic status, a rundown school providing a suitably ominous backdrop for a finely crafted mystery with a diabolical twist.
Icily brilliant.
It’s a diabolical masterpiece.
As effective a thriller as Hitchcock's film, if lacking the depth and resonance.
