Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho is thriller and suspense Movie in so many ways. It introduces audiences to the psychopath, but it also gave the cinema one of the best twist ending. Psycho, horror films usually featured a happy resolution but I think it’s a perfect build-up to the film’s final. Film also gave birth to what we know as the modern film. It become much more popular in 1970s and 80s much like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The film has clever editing, sound, and music, the infamous shower murder sequence is very much violent and dangerous as you never ever likely to see on screen. We never see the knife make actual contact with Marion’s body, but we hear every tear and see plenty of blood falls to the floor of the tub. It is one of the most brutal murders ever seen in the other movie, This sequence is studied not only by us but also by film students everywhere and it has a truly have good reputation in film industry. It’s interesting to note that the film was shot in black and white. Black and white gives the film a much more haunting and classical horror feel. A color Psycho would be interesting to see but you don't really get that kind of shadow and lightning effects in color movies that you find in those that are black and white.
The film independently financed by Hitchcock. Mainly it has aerial shot that slowly zoomed into hotel window. Most of the shots are extreme close-ups, except for medium shots in the shower. The scene of shower was shooted for so many times, and features 77 different camera angles. The movie has used the crisp musical support of a violin from the start till the end. This was a wonderful experiment don by the director to generate the feeling of fear and suspense in the minds of viewers with the sound of violin. This movie have set a different parameter to the thinkers of suspense thriller makers as we all know the music of violin is the symbol of love and peace and here in this movie the Alfred Hitchcock’s have used the same instrument in to a different leave.
In movie Psycho the director has successfully applied the Montage theory in the first half. Then we can see the implementation of cultivation theory behind every particular scene to build up the story. Both the theories are explained very well in
