Rebecca. Rebecca. Rebecca. Or in Ben Wheatleys' case - Rebecca. Alfred Hitchock. Daphne Du Maurier. This week we look at the LATEST Netflix release of Rebecca. Based on the famous psychological thriller by Daphne Du Maurier (1938, Victor Gollancz).

As per usual spoilers aplenty! We break down the book and the film and try and figure out whether or not the original is the best or did they improve on the text.
