Hitchcock’s reputation of the “master of suspense” threatened to categorize him as a craftsman of scandalous, “lesser” cinema. Rear Window, Vertigo, and The Birds have so heavily influenced today’s brand of stylized psychological horror that they are the classic films most likely to resonate with a streaming audience. But beyond representing the director’s sharp method, these films are clear predecessors to the psychological horror and thriller films of the internet age. Now that his greatest work is available to stream, it’s time to discover that the formula for our modern, immediate psychological horror has been tapping into our desire to lose ourselves to paranoia and disorientation for 70 years. Rear Window, Vertigo, and The Birds are part of seven Hitchcock movies now streaming on Netflix.
