Psycho(1960) Alfred Hitchcock

spoilers

Without a doubt this is one of the best films ever made. Psycho is thrilling and horrifying therefore it is not for the weak hearted among you, but the people among you that can stand horror movies will appreciate this amazing classic. The acting is really good in general and Anthony Perkins's acting is great. Janet Leigh is great too. Hithcock  is truly a great filmmaker and you can see why in this movie. The way he builds suspense is amazing especially in the shower scene: a three minutes scene that includes about 50 cuts and features 77 different camera angles and it even took seven days to film!!!. I forgot to talk about the amazing twist, unfourtantly for me I have ruined the twist for myself but even though I knew the mother was a part of his split personality from the beginning I was in denial until the very end. If  I wouldn't have spoiled the movie for myself I am sure I wouldn't guess that ending. I only noticed the shot at the end when Normans face and his mother's skull converged after seeing it for several times but when I did I was completely terrified.
In one sentence: A brilliant film but not for the weak hearted.
5/5 stars.
