Not the goriest horror movie you'll ever see

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2013)

Overall I found this movie very suspenseful and interesting. The fact that Norman was dealing with a split personality was a very strange way to explain the murders but at the same time I didn't see it coming. One thing that was somewhat pleasing but at the same time somewhat discouraging was the lack of blood and gore that you would typically see in today's horror films. During the scene of the first murder of Marion you could clearly see that she was being stabbed but at the same time you didn't see her cut up body, open wounds, or blood pouring down her body. You could only really see blood being flushed down the drain and even then it wasn't a lot of blood. I also found the cinematography to be good as well because during the murder scenes you could make out a shadow of the killer which made one believe that it was a woman because their hair was tied in a bun and you could clearly see women's clothing however that played an important role in making the murder unsuspecting by the audience and adds to the wow factor or the twist of who the murderer really is. Overall this was a well out together film and yet still suspenseful.
