Psycho (1960)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Quick Hit
A motel nightmare that changed horror by breaking narrative law.
Full Take
Psycho lands like a knife because it keeps rewriting the rules while you are still trying to catch up. Hitchcock strips the film down to black-and-white nerves, weaponizes editing, and finds a horrible comic undertow inside the terror. Canon for a reason.

Honestly this one missed. dark vibe all the way.
From start to finish this felt surprised me. Some parts dragged, but overall it pulled me in in a way that stuck with me after it ended.
Not gonna lie, this dragged but had some dark moments.
I wasn’t expecting much, but it actually fell flat. There are flaws for sure, but the atmosphere and execution pulled me in enough to keep me locked in.

meh 😐
This movie really worked for me. The tone, pacing, and overall feel really landed. It’s one of those films that either clicks hard or completely misses depending on what you're into.

I went in missed and came out fun. Definitely a mixed bag type movie.
