One of if not the best horror movies

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2014)

This is hands down Hitchcock's best film. If only they made movies like this nowadays. The acting is suburb especially for the era the film was made and of course the directing is brilliant. Anthony Perkins does an amazing job as Norman Bates and really made a lasting performance. You really feel he has an unhealthy relationship with his dead mother and you you may be thrown of by the fact he committed the murders, after a while you think "I knew it". He is like that weird kid at school who you know is going to snap. In my opinion, he made the movie. Of course he didn't do it alone he had Very Mills, Janet Leigh, and many more supporting actors/actresses. This movie really keeps you hooked until the incredible ending and keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. This is one of those movies that scares you without using cheap jump scares or tons of gore. One of the major factors contributing to the scare level is the soundtrack. I'm sure most people know the music played over the infamous shower scene, but people overlook the eerie music played throughout the film. I really suggest any horror fan...any movie fan to check this masterpiece from the master of the macabre.
