It is not extremely bloody, but just right.This is by far the scariest movie I have ever seen. It is so real, and could easily happen. I do not see why this site says for 15+, although it is only PG.

HORRIBLE

13 year olds can handle it.

This is the best horror film of all time. And it's not even that violent! Theres a few scenes including the classic shower scene and the death on stairs scene that may frighten little kids.

This is the perfect movie for a couple of kids to watch together at a sleepover. (I'm forty-nine and saw it first that way back in 1972!) They should know that there will be a lot to think about when they are finished watching the movie... but one or two good scares along the way! This one has been copied by everyone, but Hitchcock was the only one how to do it right. Did you know that he appears in every one of his over fifty movies? See if you can find him in this one. No, he is NOT one of the people crossing in front of Janet Leigh's car as she makes her escape. And dig that music!

i cant decide on rating. R is 2 much, pg-13 not right and PG way off. i sick 2 NR. some sexual stuff with themes of murder and 2 grphc killings.

Granted, the shock value is long gone since the scene that makes the plot so unique is arguably the most famous scene in all of film, but Hitchcock is a master of suspense . . . far better than the blood and gore fests we see today. Amazingly, in the shower scene . . . the knife NEVER touches her . . . partly because of film code at the time, but also because nothing works as well as your own imagination.

One of the best horror movies ever made! Don't watch it alone!!!

It is considered a horror movie, but the scariest part is the shower scene, which is not that scary, if at all scary. (I can't even see why it is rated r.) Nevertheless, though, it is my favorite movie ever.

This is a good classic scary movie to watch at a friend's house or on Halloween night. It is thrilling, spooky, and somewhat disturbing because of Hitchcock's filming technique, the script, lighting, etc. The woman in the movie who is killed during the famous shower murder scene exposes her bra at least three times. The beginning of the movie shows she and her lover waking up after intercourse. Violence is unexpectedly absent during the movie. I definitely suggest it.

First off, i have a hard time calling this a horror because there arent many scary scenes. God knows how the movie got an R rating. There is virtually no gory violence shown like in movies like Halloween or SAW. It is a kid safe horror movie that may even bore some viewers. Watch it and post what you think...

This movie is awesome, and sooo scary despite the lack of gore. Not for kids, but teens will love it.

It wont be scary as long as you tell your kids that the blod is actuly Hersheys syrup. ( it is! )

The #1 movie in history. This was the beginning of cult classic slasher. Before Jason Voorhees(Friday the 13th), Freddy Kruger(A Nightmare on Elm Street), Leatherface(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Chucky(Child's Play), and Michael Myers(Halloween). I LOVED THE SHOWER SCENE.

If there was a word powerful enough to discribe how scary this movie was, I'd use it. Excellent, brilliant, and thoughtful.

This classic Hitchock horror is a masterpiece. And in the beginning there is clearly a post-sex moment, but other than that and the few mildly violent scenes, and just the creepy feeling you get from Norman Bates from the first momnet with him to the last, this movie is a must see for thrill seeking teens and tweens!

I just finished watching Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho and I must say it's very impressive. The acting was phenomenal and the movie was like an adult version of Nancy Drew. While the content hear is very mild, I recommend this to mature teens or adults. Younger children and teenagers will find this boring because they are used to buckets of blood or excessive nudity. Adults will be entertained between the dialogue and the movie will be easy for them to follow. For sexual content, there is a sex scene but it's not explicit and it doesn't last long either. A woman changes her clothes in two scenes but we only see her bra. A woman is seen taking a shower, but we don't see any actual nudity. For violence, there are actually only two murders and they are implied. Minimal blood is shown in one of the murders. For profanity, there is rarely any swearing. A few mild obscenities but no swearing is heard. I recommend Psycho to children or adults that are mature enough to take a smart, well-made thriller.

im sorry but i dont like this at all.i dont really see what ur beniffitting from this cuz it doesnt teach ur kids anything.i say this is a waste of money.

It's not as amusing or thrilling as his previous works. A must-see only because of its reputation.

My father was watching this on a Saturday in January. I don't know WHY he let me watch it, but it was good. I like old Horror movies...the new ones are incredibly violent, not that I've seen any of them. This is not as good as "the Spiral Staircase", which I think was a Hitchcock movie. The shower scene kinda freaked me out, and I never would've guessed what would happen in the end...Mr. Hitchcock is an excellent film maker. We watched one of his movies last night called "Rope", which was about the dangers of the liberal point of view(that you are superior to everyone else). Basically, the 2 main characters killed a guy, thinking they were superior to him and he was useless, but they eventually got caught. Seeing as we're Republicans, it's a very good lesson for us. Anyway, Psyco was good, though not recommended for kids under 12. I can handle it, though.

Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho was the best of... Best Horror Movie Best Musical Score Best of the Hitchcock Movies If you haven't seen Psycho, you haven't lived. It is the single most thrilling movie I have ever scene... from the shower scene, to the shrieking violins, to the sinister figure of Norman Bates, it is a masterpiece in all respects. -

I had to beg my mom for like ever to let me see this movie. When we were watching some hollywood horror show, they showed some footage from the show, so she let me watch it. I knew a bit about it like how the sound of the woman being stabbed was a knife stabbing through a watermelon. I didn't think the movie was that bad. The two murders were scary even thogh no blood or gore were really shown( well, maybe some hershey's serup blood but nothing bad), Actually, the second murder was pretty cheesy when the dude fell down the stairs. They weren't scary gory, but scary suspenseful. I'd probably reccomend this for about my age.

The End was such a surprise... but I won't give anything away. :-D

The plot is so twisted, you really don't know what's going to happen next. Anthony Perkins is a terrific actor, and he makes you feel sorry for Norman, although you are disgusted by his behavior. Not appropriate for young kids, but older teenagers will like it.

Psycho, in terms of being a good film, does very well. As to if it is appropriate to kids my age or not, it probably is. Then again, that isn't everyone. I think this should probably be PG-13. There is a whole lot of blood in the shower scene, but you only see it go down the drain. So, basically, I think this film is OK for kids for MOST kids 10+.

Perfect for any horror fan. Parents won't have to worry about sex, language, or gore, but keep in mind the film is very scary. This is probably okay for kids 13 and up.

This movie is one of the scariest movies I've seen. Even without the famous shower scene, it would still be scary. I recomend this for mature 10 year olds.

Psycho is a suspenseful horror film from Alfred Hitchcock. It is intense and sometimes scary, but isn't very violent and has little blood. Appropriate for kids a mature 12 and older, but they might want to skip the shower scene. Also, if it came out nowadays it would have received a PG-13 rating.

This movie is classic Alfred Hitchcock. The notorious shower scene does not have any nusity or knife touching flesh-but is still very scary. Sevral scenes have intence suspence, and there are 3 corpses. this movie can be viewed bu audien ces over 10 years, but some may turn heads beacuase of the black-and-white quality.

I saw this with my mom and my sister and I found myself sometimes actually burying my face in the pillow. A great horror flick!
