I wont even harm a fly....

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2013)

A secretary steals 40,000 dollars from a client and goes on the run, only to end up at the Bates Motel. Enter Norman Bates a man with a devious side to him who is controlled by his domineering mother.
One of the most classic and shocking films for its time, and directed by the master of suspense. Hitchcock to this day is still considered one of the greatest film directors of all time and it is easily believable as you watch his direction through photography, lighting and pacing. Psycho is one if not his most revered film. The pacing and the tension grow with each passing minute and for the first time viewer one truly has no idea what to expect, other than the growing feeling that something isn't right. Shocking for its time, and with a twist ending that in this day and age may be easy to figure out but for its time truly took the viewer for a surprise. With a famous score that anyone who hears it will instantly recollect this film. One of the most famous scenes in all of cinema as well, the infamous shower scene. Psycho is a an unsettling film though ages in many aspects still a cinematic treasure that any fan of film can enjoy, as it is in my opinion a timeless classic.
