Haven't seen this one yet.

The mention of Hitchcock in the same breathe as Shamalamadingdong, while I can understand some making the complimentary comparison, seems a bit too overreaching and lazy. Steven Spielberg seems like a more apt unit of comparison when looking at filmmakers, whether contemporary or past eras.

Proceed with caution into this new film, this is coming from a viewer who isn't fond of Shalamadingdong's previous work, the one exception being Unbreakable.
