Psycho - 9/10

Frederic 2022-04-19 09:01:01

Psycho is back on the big screen, you can't miss it, the high-definition picture is so amazing, it's hard to imagine that this is a 1960 movie. Hitchcock's handling of the camera and music is really admirable, directly giving the film a full sense of horror. Those plots and pictures that have been imitated countless times by future generations are all too familiar. Anthony Perkins' performance is so outstanding that he is the first person in history with split personality. Janet Leigh's appearance is limited to the first half of the film, but she's hard to forget, especially the bathroom roar.

There is no doubt that this film is a classic of suspense horror films.

PS Attached are the top ten horror movies I've seen so far:

1. Ring (Japanese)

3. The Exorcist
4. The Shining

    The "pseudo" is the "mother"!

    The works of the 1960s almost killed the same type of movies that are currently on the bad streets. However, to put it another way, maybe the people behind him imitated Hitchcock too much. Although limited by the times, many shots lacked the corresponding technology and skills. Ability, but still create new content under limited conditions, it is already great to be able to do this.

Psycho quotes

  • Lila Crane: Look, that old woman, whoever she is, she told Arbogast something. I want her to tell us the same thing.

    Sam Loomis: Hold it, you can't go up there.

    Lila Crane: Why not?

    Sam Loomis: Bates.

    Lila Crane: Then, let's find him. One of us can keep him occupied while the other gets to the old woman.

    Sam Loomis: You'll never be able to hold him still even if he doesn't want to be held. And, I don't like you going into that house alone.

    Lila Crane: I can handle a sick old woman!

  • Highway Patrol officer: Uh... hold it there. In quite a hurry.

    Marion Crane: [nervously] Yes. Uh... I didn't intend to sleep so long. I almost had an accident last night, from sleepiness. So I decided to pull over.

    Highway Patrol officer: You slept here all night?

    Marion Crane: Yes. As I said, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

    Highway Patrol officer: There are plenty of motels in this area. You should've... I mean, just to be safe.

    Marion Crane: I didn't intend to sleep all night! I just pulled over. Have I broken any laws?

    Highway Patrol officer: No, ma'am.

    Marion Crane: Then I'm free to go?

    Highway Patrol officer: Is anything wrong?

    Marion Crane: Of course not. Am I acting as if there's something wrong?

    Highway Patrol officer: Frankly, yes.

    Marion Crane: Please... I'd like to go.

    Highway Patrol officer: Well, is there?

    Marion Crane: Is there what? I've told you there's nothing wrong, except that I'm in a hurry and you're taking up my time.

    [starts car engine]

    Highway Patrol officer: Now, just a moment! Turn off your motor, please. May I see your license?

    Marion Crane: Why?

    Highway Patrol officer: Please.
