Psycho

Psycho is a horror film shot in 1960 by the famous Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins this film grossed over 32 million dollars. The film begins with Marion (Leigh) having a fight with her boyfriend Samand stealing money from her work and leaving with it. She gets a room at a roadside motel ran by Norman Bates (Perkins). Bates seems to live at home with his sick mother who doesn't like other girls recieving any attention from Bates. In her room, Marion resolves to bring back the money and apologize, she goes into the bathroom to take a shower and a shadowy figure sneaks into her room with a butchers knife and stabs her to death.          
Marion's sister notices that Marion is gone and raises it to the attention of the local police. The sheriff goes to Bates' house to investigate and walks up the stairs where a figure that looks like an elderly woman stabs him and he falls down the stairs. Marion's sister Lila and Sam decide to investigate on their own. When they arrive at the Bates Hotel, Sam distracts Norman while Lila walks up to Bates' house, she goes downstairs where she finds the skeleton of Norman's mother. Norman, having overpowered Sam, rushes in with the knife that has already taken two peoples' lives. But before he lunges at Lila, Sam subdues Norman. Noman is arrested and taken to jail.

In his cell, Norman is thinking minacle thoughts to himself as his mother. The movie ends with Norman thinking that he will trick the policemen that he isn't a danger to others and that he won't even hit a fly.
I give this movie a 9 out of 10 (10 being high)
