It isn't as good as its reputation...

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 2013)

Marion Crane steals $400,000 from her boss, she runs away and on the road she stays in the small Bates Motel, owned by psycho Norman Bates.. I have watched this week both the original 1960 and the 1998 remake for the first time.
This movie is overrated. Anthony Perkins did a great job, but the rest of the characters were horribly acted.
The story is good, audio line matches harmoniously. But the movie is very slow It could have used some pace. Even Considering it was made in 1960.
It isn't as good as its reputation. Psycho surely builds the base of horror movies, but certainly it's not the best one. The remake is slightly better (much better acting especially from Heche compared with Janet Leigh), so if you haven't watch both, i would recommend the latter....
