What a Film

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2015)

What can really be said about a classic like 'Psycho' without being entirely obvious? This amazing film remains beautifully subtle, and creepily haunting. From the set design, to the perfectly executed shower scene, to the final interrogation scene that really proves it is the average, 'normal' ones to look out for, this film is perfection. (And the 'Bates Motel' series it inspired is not too shabby, either.) Was the actor who played Norman Bates ever able to find another role after this film? I know as a director, myself, I would never be able to get past such a creepy character. And Janet Leigh? Also a brilliant actor choice. All in all, this is a brilliant film made by an insanely talented, but deeply troubled man. Regardless, though, thanks, Hitch.
