GREAT movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2002)

One of the best marks of a movie is its staying power. And Psycho is most certainly one movie that has stood the test of time. It is still: 1. The most frightening horror movie 2. The best filmed horror movie 3. The best ACTED horror movie 4. The best directed horror movie. VERY FEW movies set the viewer up with one character as a setup for another even better character. But, Psycho did it, and did it well. Of course, everybody has heard about the "shower" scene. And, it was certainly something nobody had ever seen before. Today, it is considered very mild. But, that scene is only a small part of the movie. The rest is just good it is almost beyond words.
If you are one of the few people who has never seen this classic horror movie, do yourself a favor, and rent it.
