The storyline in 'Psycho' (which was one of a kind at the time) has been used time and time again since the films release.
With the fast pace and detailed back stories in films we regularly find in the 20th century it was hard to flashback and watch this film with the mind of a teenaged spectator in the 60's. As a modern spectator with little experience with watching films from The Golden Age, my thoughts while watching the film were 'why is this so slow?'. The excellent use of lighting and sound is both seen and heard as suspense arises from every corner. Hitchcock's personality shines through this film as it is one of his best known pieces of work. With a ravishing storyline and outstanding performances from Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh- 'Psycho' is nothing short of a visionary film. Hitchcock brought a whole new life to cinema in 1960, once again proving his reputation as the 'master of suspense' time an time again. 'Psycho' is known for its visionary and one of a kind shower scene that broke the ways of Hollywood.
