Psycho - Film Review



Psycho is a thrilling and scary movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock which is a 1960 classic. You get with hit with the feeling of the theme of the movie as soon as it started with the music and the view of the buildings.

Norman had created an illusion for himself that his mother was not dead. He remained faithful to his mother years after her passing, which is the compelled him to kill Marion Crane. The shower scene is a key feature of the film. There is a variety of angles the scene was shot. She is brutally stabbed by, what seemed to be, an old woman in a long dress. Norman arrives too late, but like the dutiful son he carefully cleans the room and disposes of the body and the evidence in the swamp.
The shower scene of her death is famous in the world of horror movies. This would have been the very first horror film created. This motion picture was the core of all modern horror films. Many ideas involved with the horror industry were sprung from this film. It was also very uncommon, in the time this was filmed, for the main character to die in the middle of the film. Alfred Hitchcock's ideas were considered very original and not fully accepted by viewers at the time, but eventually became a hit.

After this movie coming out it was the base for all modern horror movies and most of the ideas from this have been portrayed through other movies.

I enjoyed this movie thouroughly and it obviously did the trick for scare factor as i was scared to shower the night after we watched this film.
