Review:"I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, 'Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly...' " Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) plays one of the victims of the main psychopathic of the film, Norman Bates! (Actor Anthony Perkins). This film is pretty twisted, if you ask me. It is the only film I can think of that.. well that is a secret I have to keep, and a secret for you to find out!
This film is about a killer, Norman Bates, who owns a small motel on the side of the old high way. Marion Crane is just an average women who is in love with a married man. She receives the perfect opportunity to escape from her problems and have a "romantic runaway" with the man she loves, Sam Loomis (John Gavin), when she is given over $40,000! During her runaway, she gets tired and pulls into the motel that Norman owned. After.. the incident that had occurred, a mystery starts with the curiosity of Marion's lover, Sam, and Marion's sister, Lila Crane (Vera Miles).
Would I personally say that this is a good movie? I suppose you can say that. The ending was very twisted. If I were to take the place of Marion, I would have never taken the money in the beginning! I honestly can agree with my teacher when he says "this movie is the starter of the 'stabbing in the shower' scene!" Does this movie deserve a mask? No! Good job on the movie, Alfred Hitchcock.
