Lifeboat Ratings & Reviews
- The Gutter MonkeyNovember 23, 2025Like Rope and Rear Window, this is another Hitchcock classic that turns one cramped space into a world of suspense.
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025This film shows that you don't need special effects to make a good movie. The entire movie takes place in a small lifeboat. Within this limited space the human spirit is explored under stress
