The trailer.
The very famous shower scene, heart of the movie and probably one of the best movie scene ever made in the history of cinema.
Psycho is a movie made by the english Alfred Hitchcock released in 1960, one of the world's best film director. Hitchcock was very known for his very good thrillers and remains today as the father of many film techniques very new for his time and which made his thrillers even more "scary". Psycho is probably the most known of his movies because of the very shocking scenes in it (for the time) and for Anthony Hopkins remarquable performance.
The story is about Marion Crane, a young secretary who works in a bank and is having an affair with a man. She needs money to get away with the man she loves and one day, after work, she steels in the bank she works in a whole lot of money. Pretending to be sick, she goes home early and runs away by car. A policeman arrests her for sleeping in the car and thinking about her weird behaviour, follows her. At night, she arrives in a very strange motel in the middle of nowhere, hidden from everything, where nobody lives except the owner, Norman Bates, and his strange mother. She checks in, and while taking a shower, a very strange silhouet comes in and kills her with a knife. This scene is typical for a thriller: there is a very nerve-racking music, a horrifying scream, blood and it is very slow but also fast at the same time. We don't see the face of the killer wich is even more scary. After that scene, a privet detective and Marion's sister arrive at the motel to look for her. During the whole movie and until the end, we don't know who the killer is even though we guess it a little bit, but the end is so horrible and shocking that it bloodcurls you because you do not except that at all.
