In the spirit of Halloween, I went with a couple of friends to the Angelika Movie Theater to watch Alfred Hitchcock's horror classic Psycho. Before this, I'd only seen the beginning of the movie and snippets of what's in the middle. This was the first time I ever had the opportunity to watch the entire thing at once, and I can tell you I was not disappointed. It was practically a piece of art. The shots were so spectacularly chosen. I noticed this especially in the scene where Marion and Norman were eating in his parlor, and talking about random things. The shots made sure to include shots of his taxidermy clearly in every shot. I though that this was a really good choice, because it added to the suspense, because not only was Norman Bates creepy, but you had those dead eyes staring at you. You could tell, too that every shot was planned out because they were so stunning, and had certain things in focus and other things unfocused.
In general, it was an amazing movie. Despite the fact it was made so long ago, it still managed to give me the creeps, which I love soooo much. If you haven't seen it, I don't know what you've been doing your entire life.
