First Look Review - "Another End"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-09-26

Hitchcock's Vertigo has inspired dozens of imitations over the decades, but most of them focus on the thriller element of that canonised classic. With Another End, director Piero Messina strips away the thriller plot and focusses on the more intriguing aspects of Hitchcock's film, i.e. grief and obsession. He does so with the sort of sci-fi conceit that might have fared better as an hour long episode of an anthology like Black Mirror rather than a two-hour feature. The longer Another End runs the more time we have to pick it apart, but if you can watch this film through an uncynical lens it has its emotional rewards.
