Horror

Rating: 6/10 (11 May 2011)

I don't really like horror films but this one was OK. I found it very suspenseful which helped keep my attention. I liked the murder in the shower scene because it is a great example of an early movie right after the abolishment of the Hayes code. Never before were we able to see a showering woman murdered. This is one of the most influential and memorable scenes in not only horror films but American films in general. The beginning of the movie seemed very real and I think helped me get into the movie. The only thing is I don't get why she was trusted with that much money, I feel that is pretty unrealistic, however it is a movie so anything goes. Overall pretty good horror movie and it definitely paved the way for the modern day gory horrors we watch today.
