Psycho was a great horror/slasher movie. It was really creepy and crazy. Even though it was in black and white, it used this perfectly. They used great lighting effects to make this amazing movie in greater. This movie was also the first movie to actually kill somebody when they were totally exposed and vulnerable and without and clothes on.
Eventually things start to heat up when Marion's friends get a little suspicious and wonder where she is. What they do not know is that they will not find her because she is sitting in the trunk of a car on the bottom of a swamp. What a good waste of a car I would have just thrown the body in the swamp, not the car too.
Alfred Hitchcock is a master at what he does. He made a great movie that is impossible to forget about. The great thing about this movie is that it could have a inspired great twists like when Darth Vader said "I am your father". Even after watching it multiple times the story is still great and was still a thrill. Even though this film really isn't bloody and gory it still has enough to entertain the most avid gore movie watcher. I give this movie a rating of 9/10
