A psychologically unnerving tale, one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most celebrated films, returns this week — the 1954 classic “Rear Window” on Amazon Prime Video.
Acting legend Jimmy Stewart is sidelined with a broken leg. So he spends his time staring out his Greenwich Village window into his neighbors’ apartments. But when he spies a possible murder, will anyone believe him?
Another psychological thriller comes to Netflix from South Korea this week: “The 8th Night.” It tells the story of a monk, prayer beads in one hand and an ax in the other, who hunts down an evil spirit.
La ventana indiscreta

A pesar de la compañía de su novia y de su enfermera, procura escapar al tedio, observando desde la ventana de su apartamento con unos prismáticos lo que ocurre en las viviendas de enfrente.
