Really great horror film. The lead manages to capture the creepy villain factor so well.

The pioneering film of the slasher genre, featuring some outstanding POV shots & cinematography, a complex character study horror classic

Uneasy POV shots and the personality changes from the “protagonist” makes it a horror classic. Why did it take me so long to hear about it?

Voyeuristic ride foreshadowing modern serial killer/slasher films & psychological thrillers. A taste of the 50s/60s & art of film making.

You can tell it inspired the slasher genre but it's also not cliche, love the colorful cinematography and loud soundtrack

A macabre & colorful psychological thriller that would have been a bigger hit in 1960 if it hadn't competed with Psycho.
The Celluloid Closet

Still one of the most provocative and shocking cinematic experiences. It's legacy still reverberating through filmaking today! A Classic!

Lost out to controversy and Psycho... Desperately in need of revaluation, brilliant.

This masterpiece succeeds at making you understand what goes through the head of an obsessed psychopath. It's a fantastic caracter study.
