Hitchcock's best movie was the combination of his
favorite genres, horror and thriller.
With „Psycho” Alfred went further and
deeper inside the viewer's head than any time before or after it. There were no
questions asked about the stringency of the story about a Oedipal young hotel
manager (magnificently portrayed by Anthony Perkins) and all of his crimes. The anatomy of
a psychopath was thouroughly laid out in front of the viewer, giving every single
aspect of his frightening behaviour a logical motivation. In a lack of a better
explanation, „Psycho” outgrew horror and became real life.
When you add some of the cinema's most
memorable scenes (Janet Leigh
under the shower, mother's rocking chair) and a blood chilling closing
performance by Perkins, you get a timeless classic.
„Psycho” is Hitchock's best work and
one of the best genre representatives in the entire history of Hollywood.
