This is hardly a new movie, but over the weekend, I finally made myself sit down to watch a classic.
"Psycho" is pretty intense. It's not shocking like the contemporary slasher flicks try to be, it's shocking in a totally different way. There's not an overflow of blood and gore, there's just terror, and suspense and mystery.
Well, there's mystery if someone hasn't already spoiled it for you. That's one trouble with classics; they are referenced and parodied too much in popular culture. I wonder if the next generation won't bother watching "Fight Club" because they already know how it ends.
Anyway, I avoided "Psycho" for years, because even parodies scared me. But it's a great movie and shouldn't be missed.
