Psycho

Rating: 8/10 (13 December 2010)

Psycho in my opinion is an American classic. It is a heart-pounding movie with good acting and plots twists. Although I felt that the ending was fairly predictable the beginning of the movie definitely had me thinking. I also think that people watching the film back in the sixties appreciate the plot twist and the simpleness of this film. Watching this movie in 2010 the film seems almost jaded but that is because it was one of the better psychological thriller of its time. So the little cliché moments in the movie were at that time probably very scary. For example the shower scene I felt it to be very fake but once again today we see movies such as Saw it is hard to leave anything to the imagination after that. Psycho was a movie that I enjoyed to watch because it had a certain eerie feel throughout the film, and it is one of the only older horror films that have given me chills.
