The most potent and terrifying film of its era!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2011)

Psycho defined a generation of filmmakers. It is a film of such power that some still worship it. The most potent movie of this time period and the scariest. It still remains one of the most effective films around. Perkins gives the best performance of his career as Bates, the villain of the century. Psycho scares us from the beginning and scares us at the end as well. It may be Hitchcock's scariest movie, if not his all-time best. The score is legendary, the filmmaking is powerful, and the acting is incredible. So many films have tried to replicate the suspense of this movie, but all have failed to match the sheer power of Hitchcock's groundbreaking horror fest.
