I've recently finished watching Bates Motel and it's great to look back to this film for the original reference. Probably Hitchcock's best known film and icon for the 'shower' scene. Perkins superbly convinced the audience of his calm easy going, mama's boy persona. Hitchcock was never afraid to explore the taboo or lightly delved into

Though a shift in focus at the half-way point slows the up-until-then taut pacing and dulls the tension somewhat, this expertly directed feature is suspenseful and mysterious throughout. 'Psycho (1960)' is extremely unconventional, too. An epilogue exposition sequence feels tacked on and forced, however. It does provide some nice insight into a key character's psyche and doesn't ruin what came before. There are also some great performances, including a masterful turn by Anthony Perkins, and the score, by Bernard Herrmann, really is phenomenal. Hitchcock truly is the master of suspense and this is one of his greatest efforts. 8/10

A seminal classic of horror by master Alfred Hitchcock, with some of the most memorable iconic scenes in the history of Cinema. Tense, horrific and a superb lesson in filmmaking, it offers well-constructed characters, a lot of revealing dialogue and a huge regard for details. Hitchcock's classic "comedy" featuring the world's most famous mother's boy is one of the most influential films ever made; every serial killer and slasher movie owes something to this, one of the true greats of cinema.
