best movie ever made

I quite enjoyed the suspenseful journey of searching for the serial killer. My favorite elements were when the director played with shadows and shifting perspective through the editing of different scenes. Peter Lorre was very eerie as the killer. He just seemed so unhinged.

One of the best films ever made. Great suspense and storytelling with some amazing sound. The ending is also one of the most haunting endings to a film ever.

Watched with the boys of the Green House circa 2022

Anchored by a chilling performance from Peter Lorre & brilliant direction from Fritz Lang, with innovative techniques for 1931. The screenplay & cinematography are excellent, and great sound design & a brilliant plot idea solidify this as an all-timer across the board.

but it was way too lengthy
