Love it...

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2012)

Psycho is a respected classic for being the first slasher film. Its great and you must respect it for starting a new breed of films. But it seemed to be a bit boring. Now I'm not saying its not great, but for a suspenseful movie it was boring. But it is a movie from the 60s so it is still pretty amazing for being a classic. Plus the acting is great and Anthony Perkins does an amazing job presenting himself , he is just chilling to the bone. All critique aside, I love this film. In particular, the shower scene. It is easily one of the most chilling horror scenes of all time, and I'm sure audiences who first viewed it were floored. It is so effective because the viewer never sees the knife actually penetrating the victim's skin. Its all left to your imagination.
