Alfred Hitchcock – Psycho
Psycho revolutionized horror cinema, with its Freudian psychodrama, shocking violence, and unprecedentedly intense editing. Yet Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense, seemed to have not taken his film too seriously. “The content as such was, I felt, rather amusing and it was a big joke,” said Hitchcock to the BBC. “I was horrified to find that some people took it seriously.”
