Genuinely brilliant

I'm a big fan of Hitchcock so I'm bound to be biased. This is simply excellent. The best presentation of these films that there's surely ever been. The high-def presentations are glorious and really bring the films back to life. It's only a shame the extras are just repeats of those used for the remastered DVD releases from a few years back, but they're still interesting to watch if you haven't seen them already. One slightly disappointing thing about the discs is the numerous trailers & splash screens at the start which you have to skip through before you get the navigation menus! A shame that North by Northwest has been deleted from this version (it is present in the US version), it's one of my favourites - but still, 14 films for the price, a great deal!

Flawed but still worth it

Overall, a pretty solid set although Universal may have overstretched themselves with this one. The video quality of the transfers varies from great to poor (the poorer ones being the last 4 films in the set, making it seem as if Universal gave up trying towards the end). Some of the films definitely need a better, individual release but this is probably gonna be the definitive Hitchcock set for some time to come.
