Rating: Null/10 (20 July 2002)

The film "Psycho" is not only one of my favorite movies of all time, but probably one of if not THE best horror film EVER. the first time i saw Psycho was with my dad on a Sunday morning because i was too scared to watch it at night, or alone. Even after my 100th time seeing it, i still find it just as suspenseful and intense.(Although my dad gave away the ending, and i will NOT do that here). The reason i love this movie so much is because the characters are believable. Anthony Perkins perfectly portrayed Norman Bates, and I really think that was the best performance by an actor in any movie I've seen! I think Anthony Perkins playing Norman was a mixed blessing because he was just SO GOOD in that movie, but he didn't really get offered to do anymore movies after Psycho,(which i thought was stupid because he was a brilliant actor). You actually find yourself sympathizing with Norman, which you really don't do with movies of its kind. Janet Leigh was great as Marion Crane, as well. Another thing: ALFRED HITCHCOCK. He is by far the greatest director of all time. All of his films were brilliant, and you always found yourself on the edge of your seat during the major climactic scenes. It's a shame he's dead now, because we really need more directors like Hitchcock, who can come up with such brilliant films as Psycho.
