Rating: 7/10 (20 July 2013)

Psycho English, 1960 Genre: Horror, Mystery, Thriller Direction: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, Janet Leigh, Martin Balsam, John Gavin IMDb: 8.6/10
A movie is called a classic when the story it tells still remains valid even years after it was released. In that sense, master director Alfred Hitchcock's psychological thriller is very easily a classic. What starts seemingly as a satire on human behavior, quite unexpectedly changes gears and becomes a crime thriller. There are moments where one actually holds his breath. The plot goes like this: A Phoenix secretary steals $40,000 from her employer's client, goes on the run and checks into a remote motel run by a young man under the domination of his mother. The story initially revolves around this secretary, Marion (Janet Leigh), but drifts after some point of time. I won't discuss too much about the story in my reviews as I myself hate to know the story of a movie before watching it. The background music is quite fitting. Psycho's definitely worth your 1 hour and 48 minutes.
