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.
