Psycho

USA 1960, 104 minutes, B/W
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock
English
Rating: [M]
Genres: Classics, Drama, Horror / Psycho

Feat. Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin

Aroview: Only Mr. Hitchcock could plunder B-movie conventions and turn in the biggest box-office success of his career.

A plethora of sensational ingredients, arguably highlighted by Anthony Perkins' creepy benevolence, Bernard Herrmann's tormented score and that shower scene, have all themselves in turn been subjected to extensive plundering.

5 stars (Exceptional) Perkins is brilliant, and the Norman Bates character is still intensely creepy. Hitchcock proves himself a master of more than one genre and cements certain horror elements for all time (think groundbreaking shower scene). ~Tom H

5 stars (Exceptional) Absorbing and creepy even now after thousands of inferior copy-cats have dulled the genre. ~Wizzums
