Vertigo is a slow burn, but once it clicks, it’s a masterclass in suspense. Hitchcock uses color symbolism brilliantly, green for mystery, red for obsession, and the transitions, from fades to zooms, keep you hooked. The pacing is smooth, pulling you into John’s twisted mind. The twist is chilling, and once you see it, everything falls into place. It’s haunting, perfectly shot, and incredibly layered. A truly underrated classic.
