Afraid to Shower

Rating: Null/10 (7 May 2011)

I have seen "Psycho" many times, and each time I am terrified by both the shower scene and the stairs seen. "Psycho" tells the story of Marion Crane staying at the Bate's Motel and her Motel owner. Strange things start to happen and the audience as well as Marion become horrified as to what is going on. Hitchcock's genius comes from the sound effects and music , I discovered. Camera angles bring fear to the audience as well. The scene where Hitchcock delivers an ariel shot of Norman Bates coming out of the bedroom with the infamous "Psycho" soundtrack playing is extremely frighting because of the suddenness with witch it happened. What I had noticed in multiple viewings is that the movie is hardly as scary without the sound, hence Hitchcock's masterful use os sound effects and camera.
