*************************************
Alfred Hitchcock knew the strongest terror comes from your own imagination. He reinvented how to scare people with movies, and he did so with such precision and effectiveness that the films he made are still used as models decades later. Psycho puts you, the viewer, in such tight contact with its actors that you feel you can’t breathe. It’s like you’re physically in the room with Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh, smelling old motel carpet and stale cigarettes. And the cold nonchalance with which it documents the aftermath of its violence is almost more shocking than the violence itself. It is older than the invention of the Etch-A-Sketch and it will still scare the pants off you.
