Psycho

The movie Psycho has been the best film we have seen so far. This film caught the audiences attention with the horrifying music, mysterious plot, and clever camera angles. I haven't seen many of Alfred Hitchcock's movies, but this one makes me want to watch more of his. The story in this movie was unlike any other. It left you guessing after every scene, and once you thought you knew what was going to happen, it turned in the other direction. The plot is very interesting, in which a woman steals 40,000 dollars to try to help her boyfriend financially. She ends up driving to a vacant motel because of the rain. She meets the owner of the motel which is a man by the name of Norman Bates. She then talks to Norman, and is later killed and put into a swamp with the money. Her boyfriend and sister attempt to find her but only end up farther from her missing body, with unanswered questions about her disappearance. I liked how at first you find out Norman thinks his mother is crazy. The movie then makes it look like the mother killed Marian and the detective. After that, the sheriff confirms that the mother has been dead for many years. This movie just keeps you wondering what you will find out next. The actors play their roles very well, especially Anthony Perkins. There are many scenes where he has to show a certain emotion, and he is able to do that nicely. The low camera angles in the parlor also add to the emotion displayed in that scene. Camera angles were able to be a significant help when something needed to be seen. Overall, I really liked this movie, it was very suspenseful and kept me guessing. The plot was unlike any other movie, and was very exciting.
