Read MoreHitchcock's masterpiece! Buckle up for the most shocking murder mystery in cinema history!!! You may not belive your eyes when you see (I wont spoil it) what Vera Miles finds in the fruit cellar. I can't believe Bernard Herman's nightmarish, landmark music score wasn't nominated for the Oscar. If you have no idea how 'Psycho' ends before you see it from start to finish, you're probably the luckiest horror film viewer. My dad blew the ending for me before I saw it, and I'll NEVER forgive him. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

A rare horror film that is actually scary, and doesn't use mindless scenes of gore and violence to create tension. A very suspenseful and creepy movie...one of the best thrillers ever made. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I read how Hitchcock had Janet Leigh's character wear white bra and slip in the hotel scene showing her innocense let's say lost with her lover. But after she has stolen the money and is leaving she is shown wearing a black bra and slip. Of course black representing sin for stealing. He could scare you without curse words, nudity (he did show the illusion of nudity) and slasher techniques. Remember in the shower scene we never actually see the knife cut Marion but the illusion and the action of the slaying. Filming in black and white made it even more sinster and scarier. Susan L.

Well done in the Hitchcock style. While in today's standards it would be lacking as a "horror" movie, the plot was good. As usual Alfred keeps you on the edge. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreFirst half of the movie, up until the famous shower scene, is very boring but is necessary, then after that this movie realy picks up. I was lucky enough to never see or hear anything about the end of Pshyco but unfortunatly I figured it out but was still shocked. 3.5 stars for the fact I have never seen anything else like this and it has some great terrifying scenes but I figured it out and its not quite my type of horror. I'm more into Evil Dead, Dead Alive, Living Dead trilogy, TCSM ect. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
