Still a Classic

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2015)

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) is still one of the most well recognized horror movies in the world. The film still to this day is unique in how he kills off one of his main character's. Marion Crane's death scene in her bathtub at the secluded Bate's Motel to this days is one of the creepiest scenes in modern cinema. The oddness of it all, centered on poor old Norman Bates and his affection for his long-gone mother is such a masterful mind game. The film has long been shown in film classes as not just a plot lesson, but how to shoot a film where the camera can speak in place of dialogue. It really is an amazing piece that any student of film must see.
