| Topic | I'm going to watch a Horror Movie every day in October |
| PrivateBiscuit1 11/01/20 9:05:33 PM #404: | DAY +: Psycho (1960) On Amazon Prime ($3.99) So Psycho is probably one of my favorite horror movies and it's an absolute freaking classic. Psycho follows a woman who steals money from her bank job and ends up staying the night at a motel run by a rather unsettling character. I can honestly rant and talk about Psycho forever, but I'll try to keep it brief because holy shit I've done so many write ups I want to be done. Psycho is the prototype for a lot of slasher movies. Black and white by choice, Alfred Hitchcock used it to push the envelope on what could be allowed in cinema and horror movies alike. Having a brilliant twist that I'm sure most people here know by now, just showed that horror movies could be more than what they were previously. They could be more than a simple exploitation film or monster flick. The acting is superb. The narrative leads you into directions you never expect. There was a New Year's Day where a bunch of people who had stayed over at my buddy's place who was hosting a New Year's Eve party decided to all watch Psycho when it came on TV, and I was one of two people who actually saw the movie. I was absolutely shocked to see everything. This old black and white movie that was almost 60 years old, they consciously made the choice to watch this movie and found themselves so enthralled. Nobody left while they watched it. I was actually surprised because I thought I'd be alone is saying "Hell yeah, let's watch PSYCHO of all things." I think that's a testament to just how good this movie is, even today. It still finds ways to shock people in modern day. And I always enjoy watching it and finding something new. Norman Bates is a character that is just outstanding in every way, and I can always watch any scene with him in it and enjoy it all over again. Anyway, if you haven't seen Psycho, watch it. It's a classic and something brilliant, and horror movies wouldn't be where they are without it. Rating: 10/10 --- I stream sometimes. Check it out! www.twitch.tv/heroicbiz/ ...
