An Undisputed Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2017)

Ever since I was a kid, I always loved watching vintage horror movies. When I got older, my mom started telling us more and more about Alfred Hitchcock's movies and invited us to watch as many as we could. If my memory serves, the very first two Hitchcock movies that I ever watched were "Psycho" and "The Birds." Like Stephen King after him, Hitchcock made you unable to trust your surroundings, whether it be something simple like a motel or just walking down the street and see a group of birds sitting on power lines.
What angers me about this is that it was poorly remade later on and it just didn't have the same type of scares as the first one. You do not need a horror movie to be in color to have it be scary. "Psycho" was done exclusively in black and white and that's all there was to it. If something like this can scare you once, it can certainly scare you again no matter how many times you watch it. "Psycho" is definitely a masterpiece that no matter how many times you try to do it, you cannot duplicate it. It has been parodied many times on TV shows and music videos, which goes to show that people will keep coming back to it to get the daylights scared out of them.
In the end, let me say this: if it isn't broke, don't fix it. If you want to truly be scared out of your wits and be paranoid about checking into a motel, watch this.
