Review of Psycho (2007) by Vincent W — 24 Jan 2013
Hitchcock strikes again. He made horror films just by twisting the human psyche and not even needing to create actual monsters.
The film lags a bit in various places but once it picks up it is enrapturing. Some people just can't stand black and white but this is by far one of the better/best films in the days before color.
The acting is impeccable and is really what pulls the film together. I normally don't notice the soundtrack much in black and white films but this one had an ongoing theme that really added to the creepiness.
I recommend it but not for kids who won't be able to appreciate it. There is no denying that this is a classic but not quite of the legendary tier.
