A+ from me, oddly accessible for its subject matter.
Even everything pre-Bates motel in this film is gripping & fun.

I gave it an 8 too. I like it, I appreciate it for Hitch’s genius (and on a relatively small budget, with a TV crew, too!) and the superb performances, I love its power to shock audiences still to this day, but... It just strikes me as cold and somewhat sterile (I have the same problem with Spellbound) from the moment Janet Leigh is killed in the shower to the very ending, when Mother takes over Norman totally. I don’t know; I think there are other Hitchcock masterworks with a greater depth of meaning and purpose that appeal to my heart and my head more. While I admire it greatly, it will never make my “favorite Hitchcocks” list. |

10/10. Hitchcock's greatest film, one of the most gripping movies ever made and still full of surprises however many times you see it.

B&W was the ideal call, even if it was because of censors afraid of red blood or whatever.
I know it's called the greatest horror film of all time & yet whenever I watch it, it seems more mystery & suspense. I guess it did usher in horror as critically acceptable or whatever.

Who is the troll douche bag who gave this a ZERO? Good grief. Probably someone who thinks Fast and Furious or Transformers are good movies. |

I'm someone who's more than ready to discuss Psycho's weaknesses--never one of my favorite Hitchcocks--yet even I agree with you here. Still, as the cliche goes, everyone's entitled to his own opinion. |

I can't give it any less, it's been an obsession of mine since I first saw it on TV in the mid-eighties.

Amazing movie. How it all came together with Hitchcock's TV crew is an interesting story.
Classic.
10/10
