Psycho 1960 Horror Movie Review

Okay, I am mad. If a movie like Citizen Kane is considered to be the best film of all time simply because it invented techniques that had never been heard of before, yet the film ultimately sucked because it was boring, then why is Psycho not on the top 100 list. If you want to talk about a film that changed the way movies were made and how people viewed them, then Psycho is your film. And the good thing about Psycho is that it is entertaining. If you look at anyone from Spielberg to Carpenter to Craven, they all have to thank Hitchcock and Psycho for making the horror film what it is today. In Halloween, Dr. Sam Loomis is even named after one of the characters in Psyhco. But this film is not ever discussed when mentioning the greatest films of all time, and maybe it shouldn’t be, but it sure did as much for cinema as Citizen Kane did.
