Psycho (1960)

Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Starring: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin and Janet Leigh
Certificate: 15
Genre: Horror

From now on my reviews will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays to give my blog a bit of organisation. Psycho about a woman named Marion Crane (Leigh) who runs away from Phoenix  with $40,000 worth of stolen money. In the night she stops at a motel. When Marion goes missing her sister (Miles) and boyfriend (Gavin) question the owner of the motel (Perkins) who acts very suspicious and the silo-et of his mother in the window opens even more questions.

Psycho is a very clever film with the changing  of main characters and camera shots so that your not quite sure who the Psycho is until the very end. The film is a classic but it is quite old fashioned now which makes some of the scary bits rather funny.

****Good
