As a classic horror buff or even a first time horror fan, Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" will give you everything you need or are looking for in a horror film.
There have been many remakes but none can hold a candle to the original. The original is suspenseful, scary, and downright disturbing. Even the score by Bernard Hermann is breathtaking and eerie.
Psycho inevitabley changed the way we see many horror movies forever. Several of the 80's cult classic films borrow from it. Movies like Scream, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th to name a few are all based on it at least in part.
Anthony Perkins plays Norman bates to the heart and soul of the movie and does it with such intensity that by the time the famous shower scene comes around, you are already prepared to be shocked. You know it's coming but you have to wait for it.
It does not disapoint.
As a fan of nearly all of Hitchcock's films I can tell you very honestly this is my favorite. For any who have not seen it, rent it, give it a try, you won't be disapointed.
