alfred hitchcock ending his career with a literal wink into the camera feels appropriate.
Josh LewisJun 1, 2022Alfred Hitchcock goes out with the last laugh - to a joke that, more or less, only he would find funny. Perhaps, himself — and his wife, Alma. “Family Plot,” about a fake psychic that crosses paths with real serial killers, is an old man’s afternoon daydream of parlor…
theriverjordanSep 23, 2022Action! - The Master & The Fan: Hitchcock's Bumping Road To Mastering Suspense And with this intricate crime drama laced with cheeky humour, we bring our Master of Suspense marathon to a close, although I have a film and Hitchcock adjacent later today as you can see on…
Rafael "Mister Movie" Jovine - Apr 19, 2021
Hitchcock's swansong is a film out of time. There's a quaint charm to it but quaint charm isn't what I typically look for in a thriller from the mid 70s - this is the same year in which Scorsese gave us a blistering deconstruction of masculinity and contemporary society…
WraithApeFeb 26, 2023Alfred Hitchcock's final film is this is this little mystery thriller. Sure its not up there with the films at the top of great director's filmography, but it's a good fun time in its own right. Family Plot focuses on a pair of intersecting scams, as a fake psychic and her…

Hitchcock’s last film 'Family Plot' may not be amongst his best films, but despite some flaws, it is still entertaining and well worth watching. Loved the wink!‘Isn’t it touching how a perfect murder has kept our friendship alive all these years?’
JoséMar 31, 2024Alfred Hitchcock is a guy who I wish could of have lived forever. In 1976 we got the last film of his esteemed career, Family Plot, but I'd have loved to have seen what he could have come up with with as much as filmmaking has advanced since then. Familiar themes grace…
Xeremy Hall 🟠🟢🔵Apr 28, 2022Family Plot is exactly the kind of twisty, convoluted, humorous caper the Coens would later excel at, but in the Master’s hands, it’s surprisingly talky and static. You can sense his age with this one, during lengthy scenes of characters extensively discussing the plot but…

One of the more unimpressive films of Hitchcock’s filmography, this is kind of a slog to get through. A bit overlong, but still mildly entertaining. It follows to cons trying to get the dough. It’s ok, just thought it could’ve been better.
This gets better every time I watch it. I love the hamburger scene, I love William Devane, I love the music. Top shelf Hitchcock.
