☠Psycho☠

"Well I'm not a fool. And I'm not capable of being fooled! Not even by a woman!" - Norman Bates
In this classic horror film, Psycho, Norman Bates is the main character and he plays a freaky motel manager who pretends to be his mother. This movie was GREAT, both of us think so. We give this movie a ★★★★★ 5/5 stars. Mostly because we LOVE LOVE LOVE horror films, but also because it had a cool twist to it, and also it was actually a little more suspenseful than we had expected.

WE LOVE HORROR FILMS. PERIOD. So this was an excellent movie for us. Even though it was old and in back and white, which as you should know, we don't like! It didn't really bug us at all. Though out the movie, we didn't even notice that it was black and white. Horror films are in our opinion the best movies because we just love being scared, it gets the blood pumping and adrenaline going. Norman played such a creepy character in this movie, some of the things he said, and the main thing he did!

"We have 12 cabins, and 12 vacancies!" Norman Bates.
In a way, there was two twists to the movie. First off, the movie led you thinking that Marion Crane was the main character, although she kind of was one of them, she just got killed off and it went to something different. Now the other twist was that Normans mother is dead! But he has this weirdo motherly side of him that thinks he is is mom, he is the psycho! "You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out." - Norman Bates. We think this is part of the twist, he is in a private trap of his mother, hes clamped in it, and will never get out.

This is where the classic shower scene killing originated. We weren't expecting Norman('s mother) to come out of nowhere and kill her. It made us jump. Same thing as when the private investigator was going up that first flight of stairs and there was Norman, pretending to be his mom again and killed him. That made us jump too. It was also kind of BAM when Marion's sister turned around Normans "mother" and it was just her bones and hair with a dress on. Then out comes Norman to kill her. The music in this movie defiantly made it suspenseful. You can't just show the image and have no creepy music in the background.

Overall, this movie was great. We like how the scenes from back then are what we see now. Without watching this movie, We never would have known that some of these scenes originated from the old movies. This is defiantly a good movie for a girls horror night! "No! I tell you no! I won't have you bringing some young girl in for supper! By candlelight, I suppose, in the cheap, erotic fashion of young men with cheap, erotic minds!"
