Psycho

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2014)

This is a wonderfully made horror classic that laid the ground work for the slasher movies of our time, which have become so common. This film is filled with creepy in-harmonic sounds that we have becomes so used to in horror and suspenseful films. The build up in the suspenseful scenes really have feeling uncomfortable. Hitchcock knows how to get his viewers on the edge of their seat and we see that in full effect in this masterpiece. This film is one of the greatest written story lines and has such a fantastic dialog. This is an art that has been completely lost in our modern genre of "horror". Character's seem to have no depth and the killing takes priority over the plot in our more recent slasher type films. Psycho has done so much for the genre of horror. Horror movies need to step up their game because this film set a crazy high standard in 1960 that may not have been toped.
