And The Grand Finale

Psycho

I had always been a fan of Alfred Hitchcock and the movies he made were simply stunning. Psycho was released in the year 1960 and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The story revolves around an investigation case of a lady who was found murdered in a motel. The movie is great at its climax which is filled with the psychological horror. The movie was shot in black and white while all other movies were in color. This was because Paramount pictures found the story weak and never showed interest in producing it and Hitchcock himself arranged funds for the movie.
