See this is the weird thing about that sort of writing. Some directors would get slated for not explaining a massive thing like that, others get praised *cough*Lynch*cough*. I remember watching M Night Shyamalan's The Happening and he does a similar thing as Hitchcock. At the end everyone's left wondering when it's gonna happen again and not explaining anything, yet for some reason he got slated HARD for doing that. Even though he was doing a similar thing as Hitchcock.
