High Anxiety

"High Anxiety" is a brilliant blend of comedy, suspense, and homage that stands out due to Mel Brooks' expert direction and performance as Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke. His portrayal of a psychiatrist grappling with intense acrophobia adds depth and humor to the story. Madeline Kahn's vibrant performance as Victoria Brisbane complements Brooks perfectly, enriching the film with wit and charm. The story cleverly satirizes classic suspense thrillers while introducing a mysterious mental institution filled with eccentric characters and sinister secrets, keeping viewers engaged and entertained. Visually, the film mimics the suspenseful aesthetics of Alfred Hitchcock's works, creating an atmospheric tone that complements the emotional tension and absurdity. "High Anxiety" is best suited for fans of dark comedy, suspense, and classic cinema parodies who appreciate sharp performances and clever storytelling.
