Had never seen this one before, and definitely not on the big screen. So when Angelika announced Hitchcoktober, and this was the first in the list, I just had to drive those 30 miles and watch this one. Music is as much a character as the rest of the characters in the movie. Not to be missed. Saying anything more will definitely spoil it for others who are yet to watch it. Hope classics are screened more frequently than they are now.
one classic movie of all
Everything has already been said about this film, so I'll keep it short. MARVELOUS!
Alfred Hitchcock's notorious PSYCHO still holds up amazingly well today. I've seen it well over 50 times and it never ceases to amaze me how anxious I get before the infamous shower scenes as well as in the mounting dread that the Master was able to so ingeniously build scene to scene. So many critics and film historians have plunged into the depths of all the film's supposed symbolism and foreshadowing, but I think just taken in as the visceral experience old Hitch wanted it to be on his viewing audience, you can easily just as well enjoy it on it's many base levels which is basically just to scare you silly. The claustrophobic feeling he creates from the very outset in the cheap hotel room never lets up - it follows the characters scene by scene as the impending fate of everyone coils up to the unrelenting suspense of the climax and even is the final eerie shot of Anthony Perkins in a near fetal position staring from the padded cell of the hospital. This fill will be immortal!
Im a big fan of Albert Hitchcock so of course value this as one of his true masterpieces. Great cinematography!
