An Innovative thriller

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2011)

Psycho is one of the best horror films, if not one of the best films of all-time. This film became Alfred Hitchcock's signature films and one of the most innovative film of its time. Psycho is not only innovative because of the Hitchcock's mastery of tense moments, cutting between music and silence. But also because Psycho was the first movie to kill off the main actress in the very beginning. Janet Leigh is the star of the film and is killed off almost immediately. This was innovative at that time, because most film goers would show up 10 to 15 minutes late to films. So when these late movie goers arrived, they were shocked to see they missed the big murder seen featuring the starlet. From this time on, people would begin to arrive on time so that they wouldn't miss anything.
This film is well made, scare, and iconic. It is a must see for everyone!
