Negative Positive
Title: It would almost be funny if it weren't so dull.
Review: The only admittance I can muster for this video is that it was probably influential in its day. However, all the praise heaped on Psycho is basically garnered from that and has very little to go on, in reality. Nowadays, this movie looks incredibly homemade and, at times boring, especially during the parts where it is obvious Hitchcock is trying to build "tension." Plus, it's in black-and-white, which makes a movie look old right away. When Hitchcock tries to bring in the "psychological" element to the movie, it looks even worse, because it is dreadfully apparent that he has no idea what he's talking about. Thankfully, someone decided to remake this movie, but that wasn't very astonishing either, since everyone already knows from this movie what the story will be. Save your money and go to the theater to see any horror movie you want--it's guaranteed to be more believable than this one.
