great Hitchcock film

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2014)

This movie is definitely a classic. Hitchcock's work is notable for its infusion of horror and mystery and its great form. The story follows a young woman on the run who had recently embezzled a large sum of money from her occupation. When she finally winds up at the vacant Bates Motel, her journey takes an unexpected turn. The film features excellent photography at times, while at others the camera is used to create a claustrophobic and jarring sense. Hitchcock also makes effective use of diagetic and non diagetic sound, particularly during the climax of the film. This is a must see for horror and mystery fans, or to those interested in different genres of film.
