lock the door next time you take a shower

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2001)

I gave this movie a 10, not out of sheer unjudging infatuation of the movie or of Alfred Hitchcock. I gave this movie a 10 with a very clear and unbiased viewing. So believe me when I say: this movie is very best of its field. The scenes are amazing, everything must have been very intricately imagined by Hitchcock because everything had maximum effect. Mr. Hitchcock very brilliantly considered all aspects of the movie, even the fact that he had it shot in black and white meshes together so very well. The villaian is so believable you can almost taste his sweat and franticness. So are the victims, you can taste their pain. The murder scene in the shower is the BEST murder scene I have ever seen in my life. And believe me, I have seen loads of movies to choose from. The murder scene made Argento's murder scenes look like Sesame Street. There was an editing of a scene which showed nudity, many people complained about this but I salute the MPAA for cutting out the nudity scene. This movie is pure, it does not need even a flash of nudity. I want you all to understand one thing, recently they remade this movie with a newer cast, more money, color, etc. and they could still not come close to touching the power Psycho had. It is not just because it's a remake either, it's because something was completely missing. This movie is unbeatable in its field.
