The Original Slasher Pic

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2003)

This has got to be one of the scariest films in the history of cinema. Anthony Perkins was perfectly cast as the demented mama's boy Norman. He was chilling as he looked like just your average person, until the mother side of his personality took over and he became, probably, the most famous serial killer in film history (at least until Hannibal Lecter came along thirty years later). Also, this film proved that you could have a great slasher film without being overly gory. This is definitely Hitchcock's masterpiece.
