This has some moments, but lacks the manic energy of Mel Brooks better movies.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Affectionate, well-made but uneven spoof of Hitchcock films with Brooks as psychiatrist who walks into trouble as new head of sanitarium. Isolated moments of great comedy bolster so-so film. Future RAIN MAN director Barry Levinson, who coscripted this film, appears as a hostile hotel bellman. Kahn's father is played by special effects maestro (and real-life Hitchcock collaborator) Albert J. Whitlock.

Fun to watch once and make the Hitchcock connections, but not as good as 'SpaceBalls.'
