Frightening !

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2000)

I'd heard all the rumours that Psycho was a scary film. They were all true. The film is in three parts, the first with Marion leaving town with her boss's money, the second part begins with her arriving at The Bates Motel. I'd heard there was a shower scene, but not having seen the film I didn't know whether she was stabbed, shot, strangled or what. So when the curtain is pulled back I wasn't surprised. Shocked at the fact Norman tries to stab her about three times and misses, and finally catches her. Arbergast getting stabbed in the eye (?) by "Mother" at the top of the stairs is hideous, but at the same time funny. Part 3 consists of Sam & Marion's sister Lila investigate her whereabouts and Bates is caught trying to stab Lila as "Mother".
A frightening film, it scared the sh*t out of me, I don't mind telling you !!
Whether I'd watch it again is another matter....
