Psycho
 

Well, I personally thought this movie was good, but grossly overrated. Anthony Perkins was the best part of the movie, Norman Bates is the best.

i used to think it was over rated but once again the sound efx in the shower scene changed my mind it honestly mad me feel chills i recomend going back and just listening to it

Ya, the sound and music were good. When the Detective was waliking up the stairs in Bates house, then got attacked by "Mother".....that was great. Nice, calm relaxing music.....the BAM a screech of high pitched terror music......Awesome.

ok sorry i didnt specify dont listen to the music as much as the knifes contact to the skin

Really? I guess I didnt notice that, stabbing just sounds like stabbing to me.

ehhh... Psychos is different

Bernard Herrmann's score is brilliant.

yeah the score was amazing and definetly makes some of the films most memorable scenes

I love Alfred Hitchcock and almost all of his movies. Psycho is one of the best examples. Ive always loved hitchcocks use of camera angles and things of that nature. The shower scene is excellent. Oh, and by the way, if you havent seen psycho, see the original, and not the new version with Vince Vaughn. It sucked balls hardcore. I was very disappointed. Whatever, original is all that matters.

The sounds and direction of Psycho are great, but I still think it is way overrated. I enjoyed it, but its not top 20 material or anything.

ive said it once and ill say it again i dont think its overrated i just think it gets liked or the wrong reasons

How could you not like Psycho?

i dont think anyone doesnt like psycho and if they say they do there lying

I loved Psycho, and it is my favorite Hitchcock film ever. Anthony Perkins gave an amazing performance. I thought that the remake sucked so bad. Vince Vaughn wasn't at all convincing as a "psycho." Are you aware of the three sequels that were made after the original. All of which star Anthony Perkins. The second one is pretty decent but the one thing that I thought made the films so good was the fact that it didn't need sex to make it good. The third psycho has this random sex scene that has no purpose in the movie. In my opinion, sex scenes are only required if something comes from them. Like the character has a baby or something. However, if you like Psycho, I recommend the sequels, baring in mind, that they can't hold a candle to the original.

i love this movie i read the book too its wierd cuz in the book hes a fat guy

that's the problem with 90% of horror movies nowadays... gimme a bucket of money and i'll give you a bucket of shit. hollywood horror sucks

this movie is a classic...period put it up there with the bible er whatever and fuhget it!!:D

If you guys think it is overrated you are not looking at the quality of film making here.........Hitchcock was brilliant.........is is an old movie though so you have to take that into consideration.........a classic!

even though it may be old it still is alot better then most of the new films

could'nt agree more,in fact i froze it about 15-20 minutes into to have a shite....i guess it stirred my bowels or something.:rolleyes:

A BOYS BEST FRIEND IS HIS MOTHER

The kill on the stairs is probably one of my favorite scenes in any movie, that ceiling camera angle was brilliant.

Hitch cock is the all time master

Nobody could manipulate the audience like Hitchcock could, there hasn't been a director past or present with his creativity and unique style. When you watch a Hitchcock movie you always have to expect the unexpected, which probably will shock you anyway :).

Absolutely right, LD........Very intelligent comment too! :)

Psycho also has the best score in a movie it gives you chills

i agree he is the best

Norman was acted so well :D He was truely demented

mixojoe
Don't worry though, she wouldn't even hurt a fly :) .

has anyone read the book besides me??????????????

Chainsaw Guy
Not I. I've heard though that Norman was quite different, fat and lazy being the biggest difference. Sometimes a book can put a whole different perspective on things, sort of like when I read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest not knowing at first it was from the Chief's perspective :).

Oh, but it is indeed top 20 material.
Every countdown I see for the 100 greatest Horror films "Psycho" is always at least in the top 10.:)
