it’s crazy how many older movies can be a drag for me but Hitchcock keeps me engaged the whole way through

An iconic American film....never has a shower curtain had such emotional weight. Classic Hitchcock and scary as hell. Do not watch alone.

Classic. However, the remake w Vince Vaughn beats it.

I don't think there is a more famous movie scene in history. Period.

El monólogo final es el que me tiene completamente impresionado cada vez

The original slasher film has brilliant predatory camera angles & music so impactful & iconic that it could be considered another character.

Only very rarely can a movie or series evoke visceral fear in me. This is one of those cases.

So many twists and turns! So ahead of its time.

This movie was ahead of its time and there’s a reason it’s considered a classic

Watching this, I was once again impressed by Hitchcock’s mastery of suspense. The camera work, use of music... Good movie.
