I thought that psycho was a really good movie for the most part. It was not as scary as movies are today but that’s expected. I would have never known all the details in the back ground like the pictures and the pointed edges next to Norman, even if I watched the movie many times. The scariest part to me was when the detective went down into the basement and turned the chair around and say Norman’s mother's corpse. That was really weird and creepy especially for someone who sees the movie for the first time. I like the ending a lot too. It definitely isn’t an ending that someone can guess. The only clue that there is that he is the mother is toward the end of the movie when the detective is attacked by the "mother" and the wig falls off and every one sees that it is Norman and his mother isn’t even alive. Another thing that I thought was cool about the movie is how they used chocolate syrup for the blood in the shower because the movie is in black and white anyway and no one can tell if it was red or not. Everyone just assumes that it was red. The birds part of the movie was really creepy, but in a way a good way to kind of tie the movie together. It was neat how Marian's last name was Crane though, i'm sure they did that on purpose. The birds in his office were really creepy and when he kept saying phrases that had to do with birds it was just weird but ironic at the same time. In all, this movie was good and definitely better than Casablanca!

  1. i thought that pyscho was one of the better movies we have seen so far in this course. it was an entertaining black and white film and had a twist to the story line that none of the viewers saw coming. the film held a great anounous role that was played by Norman and his mother.
