Psycho

😃AAAHHHH!! The Master of Suspense's Masterwork! I mean, there are a good bit of Hitchcock's films that I love, but this is certainly one of my favorites. After stealing a large sum of money from her work and running off to live, worry free, with her divorced, secret boyfriend, a young woman stops in at a vacant motel off the main road. Unfortunately, she'll find she was probably safer driving in the pouring rain than spending the night in the motel👀. I've actually seen this......more times than I can really count, but Hitchcock just has a way of making his films that, no matter how many times I've seen the movie, I find myself pulled into the story, enamored, and unable to look away. Even though I know the twist of the film and know what happens, but gut always wrenches and I get goosebumps for two scenes in particular: 1) When Lila Crane is almost caught in the foyer by Norman. 2) When Lila finds Norma in the basement and the running footsteps of someone else grow closer before the big reveal. I also love (as I'm sure many people do) the way the "Arbogast Staircase Scene" is shot! I do think it's possible I'm a bit biased with this movie because my best acting class performance was based on a scene from this movie. To be more specific, the Final Shot of the film with the mother's voiceover; it's a subjective thing, but I tend to give people chills when I perform it. Anyhow, back to the horror watching! I kind of want to check out the other films in this franchise as well (like I'm doing with the Howling franchise....🤔 Guess I just need to put them on the list.
