"Psycho" is not the best of Hitchcocks movies

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2003)

The most people think, that this is Hitchcocks best movie, but it is only a second class horror film. ("The Birds" are so much better and in opposition to it - because there's the girl, who fights against the birds but Marion in "Psycho" had no chance.)
This film is not sophisticated or sensitive at last it is a trash movie. To murdering his mother is the most criminal act a person can do. That Marion Crane is murdered in the first twenty minutes it is a sign for the whole film... Melanie in "The Birds" will be living on. With the killing of the leading actor in the famous scene in the bathroom, the film stops and find never back. (You have exactly the same scene in the end of "The Birds", but Melanie will be saved by Mitch.)
At last: to show a skeleton of a mother with this thrill is not a part of criminal story, and leave bad taste in one's mouth. I don't like this film very much, but the music from Hermann is great.
