Horror Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 2019)

No one actor will ever recapture Anthony Perkins performance as Norman Bates. No one director then or after will recapture on film a slasher tale of Hitchcock proportions. One must think how bold a topic mental illness was for 1960. Well, Hitchcock masterfully created an authentic horror story filmed in black and white and entirely iconic using mental illness as the catalyst. So much homage is due to Hitchcock and his 1960 masterpiece, Psycho. No monsters, no supernatural powers just a boy and his bestfriend.
