Psycho Audience Reviews

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
shubhamsrivastavalu A story that begins with crime and ends up as a thriller. Marion manages to steal 40, 000 $ from her boss and finds ways to escape to a private island but unfortunately ending up at a motel that ended up all. At the Bates Motel, Norman seems to be a pleasant receptionist but ends up to be something totally different. The story is a thriller that gives you all possibilities yet difficult to decipher the reality which is disclosed at the very end. A work of a pathological mind ends up taking many lives that were in no way attached to the quest for money. Sam and Lila call for the Sheriff action but in vain. Later, they plan for a surprised visit as disguised couple ending up into finding an unexpected consequences. Certainly this was one of best psychological thrillers of all times.
justin-fencsak When Psycho was first released in the summer of 1960, it became Hitchcock's most profitable and successful movie of all time. It changed the face of movies, and horror, forever. I've seen it so many times on TV as well as on VHS and blu-ray. It's a superior movie to the remake as well as the sequels and two tv series. The title in the movie refers to the psycho killer named Norman Bates (Tony Curtis) who's main target is Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), who gets killed by a knife set to the loud music of Bernard Hermann and some scary editing. But the movie doesn't end there, as the killer goes to his mom in the famous psycho house and tells what he had did before he gets caught red handed by cops after he kills his brother. In the end, Norman is in a ward, looking at a fly on his hand, before his car gets removed from the muddy lake. The End.
Anssi Vartiainen One of Alfred Hitchcock's most well-known films. Regarded as one of the very first examples of the slasher genre. Still one of the most beloved thrillers ever made and an all-around classic. The shower scene movie.And yet, if that's all you know the movie from, you're missing a lot. The shower scene was scandalous back in its day, much like the rest of the film in general, but it doesn't encapsulate the film all that well. It happens near the middle of the film and a lot happens after it. Sure, it is the most striking scene in the film, but I would personally put more weight on the overall performances of Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates and Janet Leigh as Marion Crane.With these two powerful actors Hitchcock manages to tell a truly haunting and nerve-wracking story. Because, to be honest, nowadays the movie would be a bit boring and a lot predictable. The viewer is never truly confused as to where the film is going. But in a way that even enhances the experience. Because you can so clearly see why these characters would make these decisions given the amount of information they have.Add in some masterful camerawork, some really insightful use of surroundings and shadows, the two main actors and a one of the creepiest scores ever produced, and you have a masterful film in your hands.A must see film for all fans of horror and still a really, really good experience all around, despite its age.
sadhakanshit This movie was good but some of the content missing that's why this movie was good but not awesome
