Well, a Hitchcock's fan's best friend is his "Psycho".

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 1999)

This is what great thrillers are all about. It's rather hard to tell a lot about this masterpiece without spoiling some of the surprises contained in it but I'll try my best to spoil as little as possible.
This is definitely Hitchcock's best picture and it's really great. For this movie, Hitchcock took many actors that were rather unknowns and made them movie stars by having perfectly directed them. Plus, the idea and the script are exceptional and don't have any flaws. And if that's not enough for you, just think of all the people that are afraid to take showers when they are all alone in their houses because of the traumatizing shower in the movie. Anthony Perkins is brilliant as the hermit called Norman Bates who lives alone with his "mother".
It's pure genius and keeps you guessing until the end. Martin Balsam and Janet Leigh are excellent as well in their supporting roles. A sequel was made but I recommend only the first one (Hitchcock didn't direct the second one anyway). You must see it.
