One of the greatist movies I have ever seen! !!!SPOILERS!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 2004)

Psycho is one of the most famous movies in American history. Now that I've seen it, I'm not suprised. The basic plot is: (even though people who haven't seen it already know)
The story is about a woman named Marian Crane who steels 40,000 dollars (at that time a 10 years salary!) and runs off to meet her boyfriend. On the way she stops at the BATES MOTEL, a hotel with "12 rooms and 12 vacancies" that is owned by a young man named Norman Bates. Norman has his own troubles, he lives with his mother, a spiteful and controlling woman. After a long and moving talk with Norman, Marian makes up her mind to return the money. She goes and takes a shower and is murdered by who appears to be Norman's mother. A few moments later Norman finds her dead. The remainder of the movie is about Marian's sister and boyfriend attempting to find out what happened to Marian, and Norman is trying to cover for "mom". Mom ends up to have been dead for 10 years. Norman killed her (for why see movie) and couldn't live with what he had done, so he tried to recreate Mom, in the end he developed Multiple Personality disorder. HE killed Marian and 2 other women before her AS his mother. He would later "awake as if in a daze" to discover what he had done. "Mom" killed because Norman had been in love with Marian, and the 2 other women and he NEEDED his mother to care about him enough to do anything to keep him with her. At the end we discover the more dominate half of Norman (the "mother" half) has probably taken over forever, but he is sent to a place that might be able to help him. (Norman VERY likable when he is him, I hope the place does it's job!)

Amazing performances by all the cast, especially Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates. He is believable as the simple, lovable kid and the...... Psycho! I give this movie 10/10 stars, because it is, as far as I can tell, flawless.
