Rating: 8/10 (10 May 2013)

Alfred Hitchcock, One of the most famous names in the industry comes through with a thoughtfully done masterpiece of a thriller here.
Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh, has just stolen money from her boss. Marion leaves town and is forced to stop at a motel, called the Bates Motel.
The The owner of the motel has a weirdo son named Norman. Norman, played by Anthony Perkins, is a loner and a very strange man. Perkins does a great job of creating an eerie feel with Norman, he's just very creepy and you can feel yourself getting lost in the film because of Norman.
Of course the famous shower scene is amazing when you think of the Hays Code. Hitchcock did a wonderful job of pushing the limit to create one of the best scenes in movie history.
