REVIEW: “Psycho” was the best thing to happen to horror
Lily Alexander | October 18The greatest horror film plot twist of all time took place in 1960 with the spin of a chair. “Psycho,” directed by Alfred Hitchcock, is irrefutably a classic. It follows secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) who is caught in a thunderstorm while on the run with stolen cash. Exhausted, she stops at Bates Motel for the night, which proves to be a fatal mistake. The performances are electric. Leigh’s growing anxiety as the plot unfolds is palpable through the screen 63 years later.
