5/5
"A rare must-see."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
4/4
"No, I'm serious: can you ever think of a horror film that pushed so many boundaries at a time when horror was nearly nonexistent in the cinema?"
David Keyes' Cinema 2000
David Keyes
A+
"Alfred Hitchcock's most popular, influentual and best film."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
8/10
"
Psycho
might be not perfect, but it is still watched and maintains its reputation, despite the fact that even those who watch it for the first time know everything about it. This strange fact is the ultimate viewing recommendation."

Dragan Antulov
4/4
"As a horror film, it is a horrifying study in terror, and as film in general, it is a brilliant study in style and mood, as well as the darkest regions of a person's psyche."
TheMovieBoy.com
Dustin Putman
4/4
"With his toothpick build and childish voice, Bates appears to be little more than a shy coward, making the revelation of his psychotic nature shocking."
eCinemaCenter.com
Gabe Leibowitz
3.5/4
"With the exception of
Halloween
, no latter-day horror/thriller has been capable of generating as many goosebumps."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
A+
"Hitchcock has introduced more people to abnormal psychology than anyone since Sigmund Freud."
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
10/10
"...more than the great granddaddy of all slasher films; it is a great thriller, a great black comedy, and a lesson in filmmaking."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
"
Psycho
's just exploitation without what makes exploitation enjoyable, if you ask me!"
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
"Janet Leigh, stalking around in pointy brassieres, making bird-gestures, and flirting with the coprophobic Perkins, is one of cinema's most deliciously perverse pleasures."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Leo Goldsmith
"Hitchcock classic"
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
4/5
"I understand that the gods of film will rain fire down upon my head when I say this, but I didn't think
Psycho
was as good as it was supposed to be."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"
Psycho
is not sexually exploitative despite its sexuality, though, as the title suggests, psychologically."
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Rumsey Taylor
"Time may have dulled the shock, but the craft is as impressive as ever."
MSN.com
Sean Axmaker
4/4
