The story (***)
How the story unfolds (*** the script makes very good use of the viewer’s imagination, as almost nothing is overtly expressed, only implied, however the implications that come to mind are scary to contemplate)
The characters (***)
The acting (*** the portrayals of Peck and Mitchum are both exceedingly good, but in the end you will remember the bad guy better, Robert Mitchum’s Max Cady; very few actors can convey the raw menace that Mitchum produces effortlessly without moving a muscle)
Overall rating *** out of 4 stars
