Hitchcock's most famous film

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2005)

Loosely based on the real life serial killer Ed Gein "Psycho" is considered by many to be the best horror movie ever. Janet Leigh supplies the best death scene ever and Anthony Perkins supplies the most twisted sick crazed character ever. Norman Bates (Perkins) is a simple yet somehow complex man who runs the Bates Motel. When a beautiful young woman ends up at his place of business after stealing from a client and on her way to meet her fiancée to be, he proceeds to give her supper and tell her about "mother". A film known for the infamous shower scene and of course the ultimate twist ending. Hitchock even received an angry letter from a woman whose child would no longer take a shower after watching this film. Hitchcock pointedly asked her why she would let such a young child watch his film? A staple of the American horror genre and the top five best horror film winner.
