The Definitive Horror Film (May Contain Spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2002)

In 1960 a movie came out that shocked audiences with images rarely to never seen up to that point in a mainstream film. That movie was Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho," his best and probably most remembered film. The movie starts off with a love story between two people, Marion Crane and Sam Loomis. They have just finished a romantic afternoon in a hotel room when Marion has to leave for work. At her workplace, a man comes in with a large sum of money to buy a house and it is given to Marion so she can put it in the bank. Marion leaves work, but never stops at the bank. She decides to leave the life she's living a begin a new one with her boyfriend in a town named Fairvale. This is when the movie really picks up and the suspense builds like no other film I've seen. I disagree with the films' R-Rating for it's content. I do agree with the rating on that you should be over 17 to watch the movie, not for content, but to be able to understand and follow the story the way it's meant to be seen you must have a mature mind. Not only is this film the best horror/suspense movie ever made, but it is one of the best movies of all time.
