> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Psycho > > Still a great movie, but not nearly as shocking as when it was released. A seriously great movie. Top 100 ever, if you ask me, but yeah, not as shocking as it once was-- not even for the narrative twist, let alone the “gore.” Although, FTR, the narrative twist-- killing off the POV character 1/2-way through– was more shocking than the famous shower scene. ---
