 [OMFG] Hitchcock Fans Prepare To Have Your Mind Blown By This Rear Window Video!

Alfred Hitchcock fan Jeff Desom has done something quite remarkable with the footage from Hitchcock’s classic 1954 Rear Window, his thriller about a wheelchair bound photographer who spies on his neighbors from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder.

As explained by Desom: “I dissected all of Hitchcock’s Rear Window and stitched it back together in After Effects. I stabilized all the shots with camera movement in them.

The order of events stays true to the movie’s plot.
