Sina Network Review: "Horror Story" is not only one of Alfred Hitchcock's most skilled works, but also the pioneering work of psychological horror thriller. The value of this film lies first and foremost in the fact that it opens up a genre of cinema, and the criminal acts caused by mental problems have since become the theme of the film, and compared to the horror film that hides behind the door to scare the audience, the analysis of human psychology and spiritual level in "Horror Story" makes it a classic. The value of "Horror" is also that it has won wide acclaim from the audience while having artistic value, and has become more and more extraordinary value with the passage of time.
