A MUST SEE!!

Rating: 5/10 (28 December 1999)

Psycho is a classic, and a great watch. I t may not be the best movie like many people have claimed, the movie isn't very scary and the shower scene is very quick and over in a few seconds, but I guess it was made in the 60's when nothing like this had ever been done before. Yes I enjoyed it very much and I was thinking the whole way through. Anthony Perkins plays the role of Norman great, his friendly smiles, his comments his speeches "We all go a little mad sometimes") and just his general acting, the way he walked and moved. The story is Janet Leigh steals some money from her boss and takes off in her car to go to another city for the weekend. She stops off during a stormy night for a stay at the Bates Motel, run by Norman Bates. She gets into the shower in her room, but never comes out. Janet's family come looking for her, questioning all the places in the area, and they are curious about the Bates motel, for Norman isn't normal, and his loveable mother who sits in the house behind the hotel, isn't so loveable either. I long running time, but every second of it was needed and worth it. A must see!!
