A classic in every sense of the word.

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2010)

It's hard to imagine a black and white movie from 1960 with no cursing, no blatant violence, and very little action, being epic, but Psycho definitely deserves that description.
Even with a basic prior knowledge of what was going to happen, I was still completely enthralled by the whole thing. It takes several different turns in tone and content throughout, but it's all consistently well done. There are very few better examples of the words thriller and mystery than this one. I used to absolutely hate older movies, but Psycho is proof that all the things that I love about movies now, were alive and well many years ago. I was absolutely startled and freaked put a few times during the film, and that's one of the finest compliments that I can give.
