In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

psycho (1960)
a mystery directed by alfred hitchcock
a woman steals $40,000 from her boss and leaves town to meet her boyfriend. she stops at a strange little motel on the way.
the video was in black and white. the audio was good.
check out: the druggy secretary at marion's place of employment and the drunken client.
I really think these old black and white horror movies are scarier than the newest high tech gore-fest. they rely on setting, mood, music, plot and other real elements of cinema to create fear. that takes skill. anyone with a computer can make giant monsters (nothing wrong with some of those), explosions and blood fountains. if you like REAL horror movies, this one is for you. I say it's great.
