Psycho
hmm i was so surprised that this movie has an average of 4.3, obviously with MY basic taste id love any movie that tends to be known as good but the absolute movie-hating nerds on this app give THIS a 4.3??? i understand the significance of this film on…well film overall but holy crap i will never understand these wanna-be critics. ahem, yap yap yap, the MOVIE!!! i spent THREE dollars on this so it wasn’t going to be terrible and if it was, instant half star. but this movie was the first black and white ive ever seen which didnt really change anything for me. this movie was actually scary to me, i feel like so many horrors are predictable and the same thing nowadays but i didn’t know how a 1960 horror movie would be like, the black and white made it scarier despite my recent claim and i just thought that it was very paranoid all the time even though barely any of the movie has remotely scary stuff. now i was feeling four stars the whole time, but that climax, what’s the film even remembered for? the climax and following ending, duhhh. when the girl went into the basement, the skeleton was insanely scary to me, i don’t know why, but i genuinely didn’t see that coming and it scared me, then norman ran down dressed like that and THAT was frightening, seeing him fully in the persona and looking so insane was really scary and the knife, that was a huge knife, then the explanation of his actions was very intriguing and made me give it a whole extra half-star, then at the end that smile, ooh im still paranoid. overall i loved this movie, i was scared the whole time, but its a classic horror movie for a reason, would recommend. plus im not gay like at all but norman bates is hot.
