Psycho

This 1960 horror is now considered one of Alfred Hitchcock’s best films and one of the earliest examples of the slasher genre. It has long been praised as a major work of cinematic art due to its slick direction, tense atmosphere, and memorable performances.

Anthony Perkins plays Norman Bates, the shy motel owner, who has an encounter with on-the-run embezzler Marion Crane (Janet Leigh). The 109 minutes are filled with two big twists that will leave you thinking twice about stopping at a roadside motel.
