not that good

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2000)

i feel this movie is way over rated, i mean don't get me wrong it's a classic, it started the horror genre. but was it really that good? i feel no it wasn't. the first 30 minutes are very slow, once Anthony Perkins enters the movie it gets better, but even then it's kind of slow. but it is very suspenseful, the reason it's so popular is cause, it's the first real horror movie. and Alfred Hitchcock did an amazing job directing this movie the shower scene just might be the greatest shot ever. i feel that Halloween blows this movie away big time, though if you like suspense rent psycho. and you might get a scare or two i give psycho 6/10.
