A stunning achievement in every aspect, "Psycho" is a truly daring film created by the world's most prolific director at the peak of his career. Anthony Perkins' lead performance, Hitchcock's phenomenal direction and effortless creation of suspense, the iconic Bates Motel and the horrific score created by Bernard Herrmann, arguably the best score in any Hitchcock film, make this the director's very best film, if not one of his best.
