Combine Hithcock and Perkins equals masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2008)

This was Hitchcocks first horror movie and it was one hell of a way to start. The story is very simple to follow thanks to a very impressive screenplay. The story is about Marion Crane(Leigh) how was a secretary in Arizona who's boyfriend Sam(Gavin) was in debt problems because he's getting a divorce Marion is then given $40,000 from her boss's client to put in the bank. Marion run's off with the money and plans to help her boyfriend with the money. Marion stops off at Bates motel and meets Norman Bates(Perkins). This results in Marion realising why Norman has no friends.
Anthony Perkins gives a not just Oscar worthy performance but for movie history. Vera Miles(Lila Crane) also gives a great performance. Psycho also has very good cinematography and absolutely amazing music. And as soon as you see this movie the first thing that comes to your mind is a very puzzling question. Why did this win no Oscars? The movie is almost absolutely perfect
