Psycho

I’d never actually seen Psycho all the way through before. I knew the twist, the characters, everything, but finally watching it made me realize just how influential it really is. You can see Psycho’s fingerprints all over horror and slashers that came after. Even knowing what happens, Hitchcock’s suspense still had me hooked. The cinematography and score are legendary. Those sharp notes basically invented horror music. Janet Leigh’s character is kind of dumb and annoying, but Anthony Perkins completely steals the show. Even though it is a little dated, it’s still pretty much perfect for what it is. Might even top my class rankings… we’ll see. 9.1/10
