Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho changed movie history.

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2004)

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho is the tale of a momma's boy. I guess you could say that Anthony Perkins's chilling portrayal of Norman Bates take the phrase momma's boy to an extreme. Just a boy and his mother living alone. Nothing wrong with that. At least Janet Leigh's character, Marion, doesn't think so. She's stressed, so she steals $40,000 and finds herself at the Bates' Motel where she has a nice dinner with Norman-and goes to take a shower. For it was there, in the shower at the Bates' Motel, that the most horrifying and controversial scene in horror movie history took place. And little did Marion know that that one shower made the movie what it is today.
