best horror movie of all time

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2012)

Psycho is by far one of my favorite horror movies. Hitchcock was a phenomenal director, and a phenomenal screenwriter as well. I've never seen a movie with a more perfect script than this. The story is told so well, that i've seen this probably ten times and have never gotten bored or annoyed by it. Anthony Perkins plays a phenomenally creepy mentally insane murderer, who in all truthfulness haunted my dreams for years. I know have a healthy respect for him but only because he plays his part so insanely well. Anthony Perkins is what makes Psycho, Psycho. The shot by shot remake of this film, while identical in every way was missing the most vital thing, Perkins. He can not be replaced, as no one can mimic the character he became to complete this film. The chemistry was seriously lacking in the remake because you copy Hitchcock, but you can't be him, you can't be his genius.
