Alfred Hitchcock Presents: The Final Cut contains "extracts from six Hitchcock films ("Psycho", "Frenzy", "Torn Curtain", "Rope", "Saboteur" and "Shadow of a Doubt")". "Game Informer" said that with games like "Alfred Hitchcock Presents The Final Cut", Ubisoft's PC catalog is an area where the company is able to experiment and take risks. The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. IGN wrote that the game offered "no suspense, puzzles of little interest, poor dialog, a tortuous storyline, and awkward control". ActionTrip concluded that "using Hitchcock's name and work was a good marketing move, but, unfortunately the game quality doesn't live up to
Alfred Hitchcock that of the heterosexual male protagonist. "The female characters in his films reflected the same qualities over and over again," Roger Ebert wrote in 1996. "They were blonde. They were icy and remote. They were imprisoned in costumes that subtly combined fashion with fetishism. They mesmerised the men, who often had physical or psychological handicaps. Sooner or later, every Hitchcock woman was humiliated." The victims in "The Lodger" are all blondes. In "The 39 Steps" (1935), Madeleine Carroll is put in handcuffs. Ingrid Bergman, whom Hitchcock directed three times ("Spellbound" (1945), "Notorious" (1946), and "Under Capricorn" (1949)), is dark blonde.
