Psycho

What can I say? Pyscho is a classic that set the foundation for the next 5 decades of suspence and horror movies. It set standards for horror movies, and made the shower a seemingly unsafe place to be for women for good. Some of the quotes and phrases have been used so much in our culture that they've become cliches. Hitchcock set the mood very well withthe use of thrilling music and clever camera angles. I give it a 5 out of 5. Big surprise.
