Couched in pure silent German gothic

CinePassion
Having set his own standards, Alfred Hitchcock must be judged by them; and, by them, his Jamaica Inn is merely journeyman melodrama.

Creaky, old-hat, and forgettable.

TV Guide
Rating: 3.5/5 --
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.

The Dissolve
By common consent, one of Alfred Hitchcock's poorest and least personal works, though it has some compensations.

Chicago Reader
Jamaica Inn is a fraud perpetrated with great names.

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

Product Description:
Set in 19th-century Cornwall, this tale of a young woman who visits her aunt, only to discover she's residing in a haven for throat-slashing pirates, is one of Hitchcock's lesser-known films. A period melodrama, the film features an excellent Maureen O'Hara in one of her earlier roles. JAMAICA INN is based on Daphne Du Maurier's famous novel of the same name.
