Psycho film review

One of Hitchcock’s masterpieces – though I like Vertigo and Rear Window better – about a woman who steals $40,000, the sleepy motel where she spends the night, and the cruel secret behind the motel owner redefined the horror genre and set the standard for thrillers for the next 40 years. A rare must see.
