"Family Plot" would likely be even more forgotten than it already is if it wasn't a Hitchcock picture (this was the director's very last one, in fact). It's a little outdated for something that came out the same year as thrillers like "Taxi Driver" and "All the President's Men." But there's fun to be had in seeing the Master of Suspense work within the confines of its quaint premise and elements of dark comedy.

This movie wasn't very good and it doesn't even feel like a Hitchcock movie.

Hitchcock's last film is an odd mixture of black humor and suspense. It will seem tamer in comparison to Hitchcock's early works, but it's still a fun ride that focuses more on comedy than horror.
