Psycho

Psycho is a 1960 American psychological horror-thriller film produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Joseph Stefano wrote the script, which was based on Robert Bloch's 1959 novel of the same name. The story revolves around an encounter between on-the-run embezzler Marion Crane (Leigh) and self-conscious motel proprietor Norman Bates (Perkins). The event appears in a private investigator (Balsam), Marion's lover Sam Loomis (Gavin), and Marion's sister Lila (Miles) investigating Marion's disappearance.

Psycho is now widely regarded as one of Hitchcock's greatest films. International film reviewers and academics have praised it for its slick directing, tight atmosphere, excellent camerawork, memorable music, and iconic performances, praising it as a monumental work of cinematic art. It is largely viewed as the first example of the slasher film genre and is frequently named among the best films of all time.
