It was made like a television film shot with a tight budget & completed in less than three months. It killed its star off after forty minutes. There was no happy ending. & it offered the most violent scene to date in American film. Nothing like Psycho had existed before; the movie industry
- even America itself-would never be the same. In The Moment of Psycho" David Thomson
- one of Americas most respected film critics
- situates " Psycho" in Alfred Hitchcocks career & masterfully recreates the mood & time when the seminal film erupted onto screens. Thomson shows how in 1959 Hitchcock then 60 years old made " Psycho" as an attempt to break personally with the dullness of his own settled domesticity
- a struggle which then mirrored the sexual creative & political ferment which would soon overtake the nation. Suddenly sex violence & horror took on new life. Censorship fell away & Janet Leigh screaming naked in the shower was its patron saint. " Psycho" all of a sudden represented all America wanted from a film
- & as " The Moment of Psycho" demonstrates it still does."
