Psycho Revisited (Alfred Hitchcock Deep Dive #47)

We all go a little mad sometimes...

Welcome to the birth (debatedly) of the slasher film! Hitch might not have been the absolute FIRST to dive into the mind of a twisted serial killer, but he arguably is the most influential to have ever done it. This movie is...well, quite simply: one of the best films ever made. Anthony Perkins is spectacular, as is the music, the black and white photography, the twists, everything. What a pleasure to go back and watch this one again, and what an ending for what is possibly the greatest three-year-run for any director in history.
