Psycho (1960)

Dir. Alfred Hitchcock
Rating: 8.6
Why is Psycho so special?
Psycho is widely considered the “mother” of modern suspense thrillers.  It broke basic film conventions at the time of release by including a scene with a toilet bowl flush, and a half-naked woman in the opening scene. Think about the appeal of Fifty Shades of Grey for audiences today. For the time, the meticulous editing that this film required was done beautifully. Hitchcock accepted that he needed intricate scenes in order to keep the audience’s attention, and he was willing to put in the resources to achieve this.
What can new filmmakers learn from this film?
  • Unpredictable characters heighten suspense in your film. Cast well.
  • It is possible to make films on a restricted budget, and still have them become classics. Hitchcock knew what his spending priorities were for the film.
  • He also filled a gap in the industry by instigating the era of modern suspense thrillers.Image result for PSYCHO
