Mother turned 50 - Hitchcock's "Private Trap"

Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2010)

Psycho is known as the world's first slasher film. Psycho is know 50 years old and it is my one of my favorite films of all time.
In this wonderful Hitchcock vehicle, you follow a young woman (played by Janet Leigh) who embezzles $40,000 to give to her boyfriend, who is trying to pay off his father's debt and pay his wife's alimony. During the drive, you are kept in suspense, thinking that she will be caught, due to the fact that she can't hide her emotions.
In this movie, you are looking for a private island, but you find a private trap, set brilliantly by Sir Alfred Hitchcock. This movie is also well known for the shocking shower scene (say that five times fast). Now that everyone knows about that scene, first time watchers will know what happens, they will be expecting it. What first-timers don't know is when.
I personally like the stairs scene. Everyone talks about the shower, almost no one ever talks about the scene where Martin Balsam walks up the stairs of the Bates home. After watching the movie the first time, I was afraid to go up the stairs. That doesn't me that the shower scene didn't affect me. I hate it when people come in the bathroom when I take a shower.
The plot is great. At first, you believe it is about this girl, but really it is about a motel owner who was dominated by his mother his whole life. Then, at the end, our whole view of the plot then twists, which is what makes it my favorite movie. But I can't reveal it. You'll have to watch it for yourself.
