Hitchcok's best!

Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2007)

Definitely Hitchocoks best, or the best Hitchcock film I've seen. the camera work and that superb score by Bernard Hermann makes this one of the greatest films ever made.
Anthony Perkins is undoubtedly one of the best villains in a movie that I've seen. So scary and unpredictable. The fact that Janet Leigh only made an appearance up to 40 mins or so into the film makes her appearance memorable and Norman Bates.
Contains one of the greatest scenes in cinematic history. That score by Herman mixed with th illusions Marion supposedly being stabbed then the shot of the blood pouring into the plug hole is just unlike something that i've ever seen. Unfortunately I've given this 4.5 stars rather than 5 because the ending and the whole " psycho killer" thing has been done so many times over the last decade or so the film felt very familiar to me.
Overall definitely Hitchcock's best work and now I must watch some of Hitchcock's films done in the 40's. Definitely a film everyone must watch. Highly recommended!
