Re: Good Phsycological Thrillers?

Children getting killed in a movie is a novelty. Child porn is just fucked up. Yeah, you're obviously joking, and I'm not as insulted as Shogun maybe thinks I should be....but pedophilia jokes are a little below the belt (*rimshot*) ;)

On topic, Psycho is widely considered to be one Hitchcock's best films, and he's universally known as the "Master of Suspense". Reducing Psycho to merely "cheap suspense" does the film a massive disservice. And I do believe it may have been the first murder of a nude woman (not counting the pre-code era, surely), but the scene itself has no nudity (and it's been a while, but I don't even recall any shots of the knife touching her body...just closeups of a screaming face, a flashing knife, and blood swirling in the drain). Are you saying you wouldn't have considered it a mindless teen slasher if Janet Leigh had been strangled or shot in the shower?
