Psycho

• “We all go a little mad sometimes.(imbd.com)” And you would definitely be mad to not watch one of the great movies known as “Psycho”. So many depictions and scenes have been borrowed from this movie that to know the origin is great and not to mention some awesome plot line. I would definitely give this film an 8.5 out of 10. The story was amazing and the acting was the best it could be. Alfred Hitchcock put together a great movie supported by a great team of convincing actors.
  
• This movie was the beginning of many scenes like the “shower scene”. I can’t remember a horror film or series that didn’t have some form of scene similar to this where some poor innocent actor gets yanked. It completely fooled me because here I thought she was in for the stalking of a lifetime and that the movie would be all about her, but then they turn it around and go “hah! Gotcha, the movie is really about Norman Bates" it just stunned me. This guy is so crazy he would probably need enough tranquilizer to bring down a bull elephant to sedate him. Then there was the “big creepy house on the hill while it was raining scene”, if Marion had watched her Scooby Doo she would have realized that was a sign of trouble from the get go and maybe survived.
  
• Then there was the final twist when Norman was his own mother. She was actually a corpse and Norman pretended she was still alive because he couldn’t bear the thought that he had killed his own mom. I guess that’s what happens when “A boy’s best friend is his mother.(imbd.com)” It’s so disturbing it truly earned the title Psycho.
  
• Overall a great film, yes I do understand some of the scenes were a little corny like how the knife never actually appeared to stab the victim or when Arbogast fell down the stairs and didn’t tumble, but it’s more in the imagination than the film. It played to your emotions well, like when that knife came down you pictured it hitting the victim even though it didn’t. It was just convincing that he was really going to kill you. I would definitely recommend that you watch this film, soon! It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship between horror films, shower scenes and “Well, if it doesn't jell, it isn't aspic, and this ain't jellin'!” which basically means confusion throughout the show. Who doesn’t like the twists in a homicidal plot?
