So creepy because it's not as far-fetched as some others.

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 1999)

I saw this movie for the first time two weeks ago, and it was the greatest I've seen in my life. You could believe, no, wait, you HAD to believe every word Norman said, until you find out his terrible secret, even if you'd seen it before, or known the truth (like I had). It was, however, a shame to know that the final shot of Norman probably sealed Anthony Perkins' fate of being type-cast as Norman Bates forever, he did that good of a job. Janet Leigh was also incredible, as were Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Martin Balsam. Even if they only had three lines, anyone in this flick made it what it is. The shower scene looked, and sounded, real. The thing that's so freaky about this movie is that it could happen to anyone, it's not about an impossible occurrence like other horror flicks.
