Cape Fear (1962) Review

Cape Fear [1962]

Directed by: J. Lee Thompson

Max Cady is released from prison and is fixated on making those responsible for his sentencing pay. He finds his lawyer Sam Bowden and a plot forms. He vows to destroy Bowden! Bowden isn't going to go down without a fight. Especially, when Cady targets those he loves. Will his plan succeed?

I love the original. The neo-noir aesthetic. The storyline. The lingering and unnerving edge Cady has. The cinematography is excellent. The casting is strong. I love the ending. Great film

8.9/10
