Critics, per Wikipedia
Immediate reviews and reactions from critics were extremely polarized. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote: "There is not an abundance of subtlety or the lately familiar Hitchcock bent toward significant and colorful scenery in this obviously low-budget job". Crowther called the "slow buildups to sudden shocks" reliably melodramatic but contested Hitchcock's psychological points, reminiscent of Krafft-Ebing's studies, as less effective. While the film did not conclude satisfactorily for the critic, he commended the cast's performances as "fair". British critic C. A. Lejeune was so offended that she not only walked out before the end, but permanently resigned her post as film critic…

negative · AI labelView post →Everyone in the world told me that GODZILLA VS. SPACEGODZILLA sucked, was the worst of them, etc. i'm here to tell you they're all extremely wrong and i was being lied to. That shit rules. Most anime-ass Godzilla movie to date. Space Godzilla flies around like Psycho Mantis and hucks giant crystals

I saw The Apartment 4k restoration on the big screen a couple of years ago, the outdoor scenes are incredible. #FilmSky

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight on TCM #TCM PSYCHO (1960) Everything about this movie has been spoiled; the twist ending in common knowledge, the Bernard Herrmann score has been ripped-off repeatedly. But it STILL WORKS. The sheer power of the story-telling make this a great film. Essential viewing.

neutral · AI labelView post →My honest feeling about making another American Psycho movie is that all you can add that wasn’t covered by the Christian Bale movie is more accuracy to the novel, and all that really means is it will be more upsetting. I’m a big fan of the original movie tho so maybe I’m being cynical.

The movie was filled with twists and turns, it was unpredictable and thrilling to watch! The art style was super cool as well, there were a ton of awesome visual moments throughout the movie! It was fun to watch!
