pretty freaking creepy.

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2012)

i don't think they could have cast a better actor for Norman Bates than Anthony Perkins, he was just the right amount of charming with just that hint of psychotic. i have always heard about the movie and seen small clips, so i thought i knew what i was in for, but i didn't know the story at all. i was very surprised once i figure everything out. Hitchcock surely is the master of suspense and it shows very much in this movie. on the DVD version there is a "making of psycho" feature and it talks about the decision Hitchcock made to shoot the movie in black and white because he thought it would be too gory in color, in my opinion it would not have been too gory, but it certainly would not have felt the same. this film is an absolute classic suspense movie and if you haven't seen it yet i would definitely recommend it.
