"Despite knowing the ending and the plot twists of this film due to its notoriety, it gave me absolute chills. I know everyone talks about the scene in the shower with Marion, but the moment that gave me the complete heebie jeebies was right after when they zoomed out on her unblinking eye with her face smushed against the bathroom floor. It was haunting. Anthony Perkins, though, made the movie. The way he could shift from slightly strangely endearing to undeniably eerie and unsettling was masterful. Norman’s dead-eyed stare (or should I say his mother’s?) will stick with me as one of the most unsettling moments I’ve seen at a film’s end in some time."
"Psycho still holds up today and I can’t see not holding up in the future. For as much as Hitchcock was an a-hole he made a before it’s time horror movie that you can feel to this day..ugh. But he’s dead so 🤷🏻♀️. Norman Bates is such a little creep I love it and is a good template for little creeps. "
"This classic Hitchcock film is the original first slasher film. Nothing like this was out before it or around it. I am not sure younger people can appreciate this fact enough. Hitchcock the master of suspense and his wife alma made an incredible film. Anthony Perkins gave us a performance for the ages. But really it was the movies music score that sent this into masterpiece status.
Which reminds me the same thing is true of original “Halloween” film, the movie score is such an important element making it scary."

"I had watched Hitchcock movies and thought I had watched Psycho. Probably because it is such a part of pop culture. I knew the ending, I knew about the relationship between Norman and his mom. I also knew the famous scene. (Or thought I did. There was much more to it than I had seen)
That being said, the movie blew me away. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I watched it multiple times over the next couple of weeks and then watched first time reactions on YouTube. The acting across the board was the very best but Anthony Perkins gave one of the best performances of all time. Change whatever you were planning on watching and watch this right away "
