This may be Hitchcock's best film, but it is certainly one of his most complete and iconic. Pulling no punches, Hitchcock crafts a dark and graphic macabre tale of murder and insanity that is completely tense throughout. The black and white photography gives the film an aged feeling, which adds to the overall feeling of decay and foreboding. Anthony Perkins also creates one of the most infamous and fearsome movie villains in Norman Bates.
