Psycho review

Rating: 10/10 (29 September 2018)

Psycho was a very interesting and startling film. The Director used non diegetic sound during the shower scene to add suspense, which was brilliant, because the audience got to experience a thrill. The Director used the name " Bates Motel" to warn the audience that something is wrong about this certain Motel. The Director wanted to use a name that sticks out and will be remembered. Through out the whole film the Director uses clues that lead up to the most startling part of the film. The Director uses an Aerial shot when Norman Bates carries his mother out of the room to let the audience know something intriguing is going to happen. Near the very end of the movie the audience gets the shock of their lives, because when the detective went down to the cellar there was a chair in the middle of the room. When the detective turns the chair around he and the audience discover a Skeleton sitting in the chair! The Skeleton was Norman Bate's dead mother. Norman killed his mother and kept her Skeleton! At the very end of the film the audience soon discovers Norman Bates has a mental disability and his brain took the form of his mother's personality.
