Hitchcock At His Best

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2014)

Alfred Hitchcock delivered a masterpiece with Psycho. The mystique surrounding the film has become almost legendary, if only for the ultimate plot twist at the end of the film. Anthony Perkins, as the one and only Norman Bates, gives an incredible performance of an unfortunately troubled young man, and makes you feel truly sorry for he has endured in his life. Of course, the shower scene has to be addressed, but the music and the events are two special entities. The music, however, is what I feel gives an extra sense of suspense to the already startling moment. This film proves that Alfred Hitchcock was truly an innovator in directing films, and has left behind a legacy that will maybe never be approached again.
