"...There is not a shot in this film that isn't necessary to its dramatic progression. Not a shot, either, that isn't fascinating and doesn't make us think it's a masterpiece of cinema." - François Truffaut. "Like many underrecognized treasures, David Miller's SUDDEN FEAR fits into and defies different genres, its convention-scrambling partly the result of the fact that the film looks both forward and back." - Melissa Anderson, Village Voice
