Probably the greatest horror film EVER

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2003)

I'm only 13, but I saw the movie for the first time when I was about 8 or 9, and I'll tell you, it scared me to death! The reason it was so scary is probably because of a few reasons: DEFINITE SPOILERS!
1. Obviously, the shower scene is the most terrifying part of the whole film. After I saw that, it was truly hard for me to take a shower for a while. And, of course, my mom's bathroom (we lived with her brother and mother, and there were three bathrooms in the house) was being fixed up by her brother, but she wanted me to shower in that one to test it out. But there was no door to lock, so I was almost in tears.
2. The ending freaks me out every time I see it. Not because Norman was the killer, but because of the cars we see being pulled out of the swamp. I always wonder what was in there. Well I know what it was (the bodies), but what did it actually look like? That thought always scares me.
3. The fact that mother says that she would never hurt a fly. that was pretty weird!
Now, most people say that "The Exorcist" is the scariest movie ever, but I just thought that it was an excellent, not scary, movie, and I saw it when I was about 11 or 12. But "The Exorcist" was shattering when it was first released. No one had ever seen that before in a movie, such as the foul language said by a 12 year old innocent girl, the whole concept of possession, the vomiting, a very bloody crucifix masturbation scene with a 12 year old girl, the head spinning. That to me doesn't make me afraid of anything, but Psycho does. That is what I think makes a truly frightening film. Rating: 10/5
