PSYCHO


Director:
Alfred Hitchcock

Writer:
Joseph Stefano
Robert Bloch

Starring:
Vera Miles
Anthony Perkins
John Gavin and others

Psycho is an Alfred Hitchcock classic. The iconic shower scene is path breaking and tastefully done but unfortunately the movie is not as path breaking as the scene. Yes I agree that 50 years ago the movie would have been unpredictable but now guessing the whodunit for the contemporary audience is very easy. Watch the movie for the background score and Hitchcock’s vision.

Aarnav: Frankly times have changed and so have murder mysteries. Modern day plots have raised the standard so high that classics like psycho are almost forgotten.  The movie is an antique and has passed its shelf life. But those who like antique can still go ahead and watch it.
 
Pranit’s Rating: 6/10
