Knowing the Twist Doesn't Ruin the Movie

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2014)

The rule of thumb for any movie, good or bad, is to never give away the ending, especially if there is a twist at the end, and Psycho has the biggest twist ending in any movie. But the reason why this movie is so great is that, by the way it's shot, paced, acted and filmed, the twist still shocks you, even when you know it. That's the magic of Hitchcock's directing, that his movies can't be spoiled because all the scenes work together perfectly. The shower scene is one of the most parodied and copy scenes in movie history, and yet watching this movie, and experiencing everything that happened before it, the scene is able to shock you. I won't give away the ending, but if you do know the ending, don't think the movie has been spoiled for you, in my opinion, this movie is impossible to spoil.
