Hitchcock makes high art out of pulp horror. The shower scene is iconic but still shocks. A watershed horror scene still studied intensely today. Perkins elevates his role into something resembling Shakespearean pathos, and the performance would define his career. The all strings music score by Bernard Herrmann is unnerving and forceful, yet irresistible. A horror masterpiece by cinema's greatest suspense movie maven. One of the greatest films ever made.
I don’t think anyone who saw this originally, didn’t think about this movie when showering! Classic film, but remember, for adults only
it's a classic - one of the scariest first thrillers
I know!! The shower scene is still so freaky! What a great piece of cinema.
One of my all time favourites? Scared the crap out of me when I was 6.
awsome
If this is a film print of the movie I want in. If this is a digital copy of the film - no thanks - I'll wait for the Blu-ray coming out and watch it on my big screen tv. Does anyone know?
