Where to Watch Psycho
- Zokkiie10 augusti 2026Masterpiece. There's really not much else to say. It's hard to believe this was made in 1960 because so much of it still feels incredibly effective. The tension, the atmosphere, the way Hitchcock controls what you see and don't see — it's all just perfect. Anthony Perkins is fantastic as Norman Bates too, and the whole movie has this unsettling feeling that never really goes away. The shower scene is obviously iconic, but there's so much more to admire beyond that. The black-and-white photography looks beautiful, the editing is brilliant, and that score is instantly recognizable. It also manages to be genuinely creepy without needing much gore at all. One of those movies where calling it a classic almost feels like underselling it.
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂3 mars 20252 things I learned about sexuality this film. First, I always thought Jamie Lee Curtis was an awkward woman because she had more body than her face or personality knew what to do with. Then I learned that Janet Leigh is her mother and suddenly it made sense. Also not known for her smile, her body in this movie proves she does not need one. Second, I never knew anything about Anthony Perkins but the instance I saw him run up those stairs I knew he was gay and wanted the world to know it. Now, this film was nothing like you might think it would be like if you weren't from that era. I think many people might hear this movie and think "horror" film and it just not that at all. However it's contributions to the thriller world are significant and that's what I will take note of in my review. All this great and interesting Hollywood history going on in this film is great but the type of eerie suspense setup by this film is also historical in it's own right. The suspenseful music track with the violins repeated in the first half of the film is great and yet recognizable. Then it hit me. Rapper Busta Rhymes used this in his best known single "Gimme Some More" which I found to be awesome. Many older films with high ratings such as this film are given them largely based on their historical contribution to the art. In other words if you weren't experiencing the film at the time of it's release, the moments of cutting edge innovation will be lost to you. This was true for another one of Hitchcock's films for me "North By Northwest." And so a film receives points in ratings not solely based on it's entertainment value, but value for it's contributions in breaking ground. But for me, "Psycho" is as entertaining as it is groundbreaking. That entertainment was from it's ability to produce and maintain a "feeling" and I think that entertainment value appreciated by myself, was the same "it" factor that the rest of the world saw in this film all those years ago. Bravo Mr. Hitchcock. 9/10 Respectfully.

- Cubane1 april 2026Remember when it was controversial to show a toilet in a movie? The 1960s must have been pretty wild. It's a solid horror movie with the building blocks that all subsequent slasher flicks select from. The practical effects deserve the praise they get from movie buffs. It's an 80+ year old movie so it's quite slow by modern standards, but today's movies owe a whole lot to Hitchcock and his work.
- mrsolitariman10 oktober 2025A very good classic horror movie.
- Jorge López Muñoz12 januari 2026Fantastic movie with great director and fabulous actors
- Spanktacular29 januari 2026Confession - It's my first time seeing it, and I didn't know the music was originally from this film. I just remembered it from Busta Rhymes' "Gimme Some More". Go give that a listen.
- Nina3 januari 2026My fav movie 🖤🖤🖤
- MikeGomezGlove13 september 2025Classic.... .... Year's ahead of it's time!!
- kenngineer30 november 2025From the buildup to the end, it was almost as masterful as it is nerve-wracking and mysterious. I never expected that ending and I have loved it. It also gave me closure at the conclusion which added more depth to the antagonist's character making a better insight to what was going on in Norman's mind.This movie has its own Thriller favor and is one of my favorites as well.
