Nothing Short of a Brilliant Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2007)

Psycho isn't gory and it isn't that violent but everything about it puts almost every horror film made today in shame.
Alfred Hitchcock never won an Oscar but when you watch Psycho (and Vertigo, Rebecca, and Rear Window) you can't help but want to march into the Academy's offices and say "How stupid can you be?".
Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, and John McIntyre are all great in their performances and I believe that if Janet Leigh could get nominated for an Oscar then Vera Miles, John Gavin, and esp. Anthony Perkins should have been.
Anthony Perkins was so good in that role that he won't be remembered for anything else ever again. The image of him in his mother's dress with the knife before he charged towards Vera Miles is one that will forever be engraved in my mind and the fact that he got no recognition for it is a crime!! This film is truly perfect....I can't think of any flaw at all!!
