this is one hell of an overrated film!

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2003)

I dont know. Maybe its because of a lack of gore. Maybe because of a lot of body count. But this film does not deserve all the praises it has been receiving for the past 42 yrs since it was released. I mean, it didnt even scared me at all! I love horror movies and I dont think it deserved in the top of the IMDB list. No. 1 would have to be Exorcist or Silence of the Lambs or even Ringu, but not this crap!
Warning: Spoilers ahead
But I have to admit, the ending where the identity of Norman Bates playing the mother was revealed, it actually blew me away for awhile. But the shower scene? Come on! Dont say that you were scared by that scene just to join the bandwagon. Come and join me and be yourself. Well, maybe its in my top 20 and thats the best it could get but definitely not top 1. 5/10
