Hitchcock was first recognized for his film psycho. He was the founding father of psychological thriller and one of the first directors to explore the use of suspense in films. Another example of Hitchcock's technical virtuosity was his creation of subjective sound for the film Blackmail.
The style of Hitchcock's films was greatly influenced by his upbringing Hitchcock's catholic father planted a seed of fear in him from a young age. He was a police man and once locked him in a police cell for 5 minutes to teach him a lesson about crime this experience left him deeply shaken up. Being a bit of a loner as he grew up , Hitchcock expressed himself through his films.
"The only way to get rid of my fears is to make films about them"
Altogether Freud made about 53 films.
