Jamaica Inn is a fraud perpetrated with great names.
March 20, 2012
By common consent, one of Alfred Hitchcock's poorest and least personal works, though it has some compensations.

It could have come across as strictly a work-for-hire gig, but it displays enough Hitchcockery to show he wasn't as disengaged from the material as he would later claim he was.

Mostly known as Hitchcock's last British fim before leaving for Hollywood, this period piece is weak, despite star performance from Charles Laughton.

Jamaica Inn, while no classic, seems undeserving of its reputation as a failure.
February 03, 2015
Laughton is compelling from the first instant: His Pengallan is at least five of the seven deadly sins rolled into one, a cheerfully loathsome creature with wide-set eyebrows and a multitude of chins ...

Superb direction, excellent casting, expressive playing and fine production offset an uneven screenplay to make Jamaica Inn a gripping version of the Daphne du Maurier novel.

This lurid story of violence and brutality is lavishly staged.
September 06, 2009
Couched in pure silent German gothic
March 25, 2006
Having set his own standards, Alfred Hitchcock must be judged by them; and, by them, his Jamaica Inn is merely journeyman melodrama.
March 20, 2012
Creaky, old-hat, and forgettable.
June 24, 2006
The result is weird, but not wonderful.
