The OG

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2020)

How to begin talking about Psycho... It was the first movie to show a toilet! Beginning with the toilet, like many things in this movie the showing of a toilet showed the boldness's Alfred Hitchcock was willing to do when making this movie. Psycho may have been rated R but even as an R rated movie this movie when above and beyond any horror movie that had been made before it. The usage of black an white color in order to by pass restrictions on showing blood was a great idea that added so much to this movie. Of course how can you discuss this movie without talking about the infamous shower scene? Originally the shower murder was going to be completely without music, however what has become one of the most parodied movie scenes in movie history was most likely thanks to the inclusion of the ere and creepy music played during this scene. The shower murder itself was very bold like much of the movie, while nothing to revealing is shown, we do see and believe Janet Leigh is full blown naked while being realistically stabbed. Where this movie slows down a little is the explanation scene at the end which was a little awkward, long and boring. Psycho is very interesting movie worth seeing, this movie did so many firsts which overtime has really payed off as Psycho is one of the most well known and beloved movies.
