Amazingly scary and beautifully done masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2008)

I was first introduced to Psycho when I was parts of it on TV, I was about 6 when the shower scene came on, I closed my eyes, and stayed there, hugging my father, tapping my years, it was truly scary. But what actually scared me, wasn't the fact that the killer murders someone in the bath, but the music. The screaming violin tune is one of the, if not, the most famous tune ever, which was copied to other films such as "Carrie" and "The Amityville Horror".
Anthony Perkins does a great job of the motel owner - Norman Bates. He seems sympathetic, a nice young man, but being tormented by his sick mother, who always stands seating there, staring from the bedroom window of the "Psycho house" is also a great shot.
Janet Leigh is great in this movie too, when she's running away from the police, you really can feel her fear, and it seems as she's also driving to madness!
This great Hitchcock film, while, in the future, many other horror films will be forgotten, will stand up, and will remain known as one of the greatest films ever made!
