Not all It's Cracked up to be

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2000)

I watched Psycho for my Perspectives on Popular Culture, and I was not impressed at all by the shower scene. The one thing that was really intriguing was the character of Norman Bates, who would make an interesting study in probably any field. I guess what made me dislike Psycho is that I knew the plot ahead of time. I bet that if I saw this film in 1960 I would have enjoyed it a lot more. It reminded me a little of the Sixth Sense, another psychological thriller.
