Psycho

The girl decides to dump her inattentive lover, her job, and her mundane life, steals a large sum of money, and flees the city. Stopping for the night at a roadside motel, she meets its peculiar owner—a young man who lives alone amidst bird dummies and under the despotic control of his mother. After this, the heroine disappears without a trace.

This is a classic that redefines classics. Only the lazy one didn't comment "Psycho". Director Peter Bogdanovich called it "quite possibly the most visually cinematic of all films ever made."

Psychoanalysts love "Psycho" for its vivid demonstration of the tripartite structure of the personality, horror enthusiasts applaud it as one of the first intelligent horror films where everything hinges on that famous suspense, directors admire it as a treasure trove of visual discoveries and an endless source of inspiration, and, of course, fans of classic black-and-white American cinema appreciate it. Suspense is an invention to which Hitchcock himself contributed greatly: not the horror itself, but a state of tense and anxious anticipation of horror, that elusive feeling that hooks the viewer and makes horror simply delightful and good.
