Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock created the "mother" of all horrors when he directed the film Psycho in the year 1960. This was my chosen film to study in preparation for the World Cinema work we will be completing this year. The plot of the film begins with a man and a woman in a hotel room in Pheonix, Arizona. They are trying their best to see one another even though the man, named Sam lives in California. As the woman, Marion, returns to work that afternoon she is greeted by her boss and a businessman willing to pay $40,000 cash for a property as a present to his daughter. Marion, seizing this opportunity, steals the money and drives to Sam in the attempt to run away with him to live happily ever after. Although, the film wasn't named Psycho as a distraction! She becomes tired whilst driving and decides to pull over to a motel just off the main highway... That's where the story really begins! In this twisted motion picture, Hitchcock introduces to the world a truely disturbed character that may earn your trust at first, but certainly turns out to be the PSYCHO! Honestly, the best horror film i've seen that's filmed in black and white!
