Psycho is the perfect thriller

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2019)

Aaahhh. Psycho is about as close as you can come to a perfect thriller. Thrillers are all about how the story is told. You show too much, there's not enough suspense. Show to little, and people don't know what's going on. Different angles and lighting can evoke different feelings. Hitchcock is a master of not only coming up with a great story, but telling that story perfectly. Hitchcock finds the perfect balance between terror, suspense, and mystery in all his films, and Psycho is certainly no exception. It is no surprise that one of the most iconic scenes in Hollywood history is in this movie. To top it off the acting is phenomenal as well. Often times with films at the time scenes of strong emotion would be excessively dramatic and over the top. However, in psycho, these scenes are not as often, and when they, the over the top dramatization seems appropriate, considering their lives are usually at stake.
If you want to watch a fantastic movie, watch Psycho. If you want to fall asleep tonight, don't watch Psycho
