One of the greatest movies ever made!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2002)

Alfred Hitchcock is one of THE greatest directors that ever graced us with his cinematic presence. Psycho is a cinematic masterpiece. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and that doesn't happen often. I heard little about this movie except about the dreaded shower scene and that Norman Bates was a bad guy. But when I was watching it I thouht that was just rumor. I thought he was good and the mother was bad. Little did I know. The score by Bernard Hermann is one of the best. I am glad Hitch decided to film it in Black and White. It wouldn't have had the same effect. It is a shame that many people, especially teenagers refuse to watch a black and white movie. "It is boring." "It is old." It is a CLASSIC!! I am seventeen years old and I have a collection of Hitchcock movies. Give black and white movies a chance. You won't be disappointed.
