William Oliver
Psycho is a Thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates, and Vera Miles as Lila Crane. This film had one of the craziest, most unexpected plot twists I have ever seen. The movie is in black and white, which I feel helped added to the suspense that built up as the movie went along. The protagonist of the movie, Marion Crane is killed by a woman about 40 minutes into the film. Although I had never previously seen Psycho, this particular scene I had seen many times, due to how iconic it is. It may seem very cheesy now, but at the time, the rapid cuts between different shots and audio screeching, give the scene a grisly feel, even though there is a lack of gore in the scene itself.
Her sister, Lila and Marion's boyfriend Sam, then became concerned about Marion's well being and her whereabouts. They bring in a private investigator to help them out. But he is then killed by the same woman who killed Marion in the shower! Sam began to go investigate the owner of the Motel they were in, Norman Bates. They begin to argue until Norman hits Sam over the head with a glass. He ran upstairs to find Lila. However, Lila went down to the cellar. \Lila saw a women sitting down with her back turned. She went to tap her on the shoulder and it was Norman's mother's skeleton dressed up. Lila screamed and then came Norman with a knife dressed up like his mother! He tried to attack Lila but Sam came in and grabbed Norman before he could do anything.
After Norman was arrested by the police, it became known that Norman's mother had been dead for years, because Norman had killed her and her boyfriend out of jealousy. But he had kept her body dressed up, and would talk to her as if she were still alive. Over time he began to become his mother and was living with two personalities. This is where the Psycho title comes from. Norman never remembered killing Marion or the P.I, because his "Mother" side did it out of jealousy. Norman Bates is Psycho.
