Review of Psycho (2007) by Alex A — 29 Jul 2014
Fifty+ years later the chills and suspense of Psycho are still effective, thanks to Alfred Hitchcock's masterful direction. The performances are wonderful, especially Anthony Perkin's hypnotizing portrayal of Norman Bates.
The first thirty minutes may be uninteresting to some, but it welcomely explains the chain of events that lead Marion Crane to the Bates Motel. Who can forget the classic score? This is an influential cinematic landmark far ahead of its time with sharp, detailed dialogue, good cinematography and an amazing character study.
Psycho is the mother of slasher cinema, a true masterwork.
