Psycho

This is another one of Alfred Hitchcock famous films. this one is based on a young women named marion who tries to get away with stealing $40,000. However the girl did not realise the danger she was about to come across when checking in to a motel over night. The women meets a young man who owns the motel and at first seems charming and polite, however inside is stirring something crazy. The motel owned Norman Bates is not who he appears to murders marion whilst she is taking a shower. She is murdered by Normans mothers...or was she?
Norman buries the body in the swamp in order to cover up he's mothers crime. However he was not expecting for people to come looking for her. A privet investigator is hired to track her and the stolen money down.  The investigator snoops around the house behind the motel owned by Norman, when he is attacked by his mother....
at this point the audiecne are lead to believe there is a crazy mother living in the house. however when the sister and marions boyfriend conduct there own search to find her, we find ou tfrom the sherif of the town that Normans mother has been dead for some time and i buired. later on in the film Marions sister found the mothers body in the the basment. all along Norman was dressing up as his mother, he had taken on her personality as he felt guitly for killing her when he had a neew boyfriend.
Norman was completely mad. And had always been a mummy's boy however when she got a new lover Norman killed them both in a fit of jealousy.

The film contain a MCguffin as the money that marion steal is important to her, however it has no interest to us. The film uses twist well to surprise us with the fact that he is actually the mother. The back story is very good and was carefully planned out. psycho has been one of my favourite films.
