WOW

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2019)

This movie is almost 60 years old and its still better than most horror movies out there now! I watched this movie for the first time today with a lot of anticipation. I have always seen it appear in lists of top horror movies, top movies from the 1960s, top thriller movies etc. and i have wanted to watch it for the longest time. The acting is phenomenal (bar a couple of minor characters) and the storyline is excellent. Due to the movie being created in the 1960s, CGI was not used, meaning they had to rely on practical effects. Although not very explicit and violent, the practical effects are done well, and the viewer is allowed to imagine the rest. Psycho has done a great job of leaving me feeling unsettled and intrigued at the same time. The soundtrack is absolutely amazing and the dialogue is so natural and brilliant. It is so cleverly written with a couple of twists and turns at the end, which leaves you feeling so satisfied. My heart was just racing the whole time i was watching! 10 out of 10 because not many films leave me with a smile on my face after watching it :-)
