AMAZING!!!! Hitchcock was such an artist. He had an amazing way of making a character pop out in each in their own way. The viewer could feel the actors emotions through the film. That is not only great acting, that is good directing as well. The picture and directing were wonderful in so many ways. Each frame in the film was so intense and beautifully lit up. The high-key and low key lighting throughout the whole movie was perfect. Hitchcock knew just how to light up a scene then quickly make it dark and dim for just the right element of three key lighting. He made it look easy. An example is the back lighting he would use whenever the film showed the house normal bates (Anthony Perkins) lived in with his mother. The house looked scary and evil. Hitchcock payed attention to every detail in all of his films. For a film directed in 1960 is still gave me the creeps. Going into this movie i had assumed that it was going to be similar to the movie in 1998, but it was totally different. I loved this one much more.
