Psycho (1960)

Hey yall it’s Big Boi. A couple of days back we watched a movie called Psycho. Yeah sounds Crazy but any who it IST. Well in this movie, In need of money to marry her boyfriend Sam Loomis, Marion Crane steals $40,000 from her employer and flees Phoenix, Arizona by car. While en route to Sam's California home, she parks along the road to sleep. A highway patrol officer awakens her. Marion's agitation arouses his suspicions and he decides to follow her. When she trades her car for another at a dealership, he notes the new vehicle's details. Marion returns to the road but rather than drive in a heavy storm, decides to spend the night at the Bates Motel. She checks in under an Assumed name, although she unwittingly gives Norman her real name later. Then later on in the story when Marion Crane was found in her house by herself. Then she was stabbed to death and she was trying to stick through it but oh well. So once she was dead for a few weeks and then her boyfriend found her dead in her home. Her boyfriend panicked and cleaned up the blood and wrapped her up and then pushed her car in the swap. Man she was a good woman.

TJ: Psycho is about Marion Crane who steals $40,000 from her employee and leaves to go to Phoenix, Arizona in her car. While she is driving she eventually stops in the middle of the road to go to sleep because she is tired and she is worried about getting into an accident. A highway patrol officer wakes her up and she starts to get annoyed by the cop making him suspicious about Marion and decides to follow her. While Marion is back on the road driving she trades in her car for a different car. A storm erupts and she decides to go to the Norman Bates Motel. When she checks in she gives Norman Bates a different name. Norman Bates talks to her about not having that much customers because of the location disconnecting at a interstate or something like that and since it is raining he offers Marion to stay at his house and then that is when things start to get worse. This movie was very good even though it was kind of quiet. It's very famous for the stabbing in the shower scene which was the most crazy part for me. I also liked the part when Norman Bates had disguised himself as his mom and was murdering people. I like old horror movies because most of todays horror aren't really that good they usually try to do a remake and make a lot of money on it just because the original version was a classic. To me the movie wasn't really that scary but if I was living in the 60's I would probably be standing on my feet screaming at the screen.
