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.

I honestly think this is elite. It might not be perfect, but it does so many things right that it doesn’t matter.

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.
