What a nice guy, that Norman!

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2000)

Quite argueably, "Psycho" is the original, and by far the best,
slasher movie. Though pretty much primitive compared to today's
horror movies, this one can still pack a punch, thanks to the
great Alfred Hitchcock's taunt direction and the chilling
Bernard Hermann score. The performances were awesome as well,
especially by Anthony Perkins, the seemingly-friendly momma's
boy Norman Bates, who owns the desolate Bates motel. When a
naughty bank teller named Marion (nicely played by Janet Leigh,
who is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother in real life!) steals 40 grand
from her boss and runs away, decides to stay at the infamous
motel, she seems relieved that the owner of the place is kind
and polite. Little does she know!! Marion receives a nasty
surprise while bathing the motel shower! What follows is a
harrowing trip to find the real killer, who may or may not be
Norman or his mother. An extremely scary flick, "Psycho" is the
ultimate chill-fest. Forget anything made by Wes Craven,
"Psycho" is your ticket for
