Mini Review 1 this post is Physco!

In class we watched the movie Physco, a story about a women who gets murdered and then what happens throughout the process of the authorities trying to figure out the murder. This film is a horror/suspense film from the 1960's. In the 1960's this film was viewed as a much scarrier movie than it is today. As compared to horror/suspense films that we see today I would say that Physco isn't very scary. Over time, movies has evolved and present day we have much more technology and resources to make a more terrifying film although I do think that Physco was very well done. I think that in the 1960's this film would have been one of the scarriest things that many people would have seen. I think that the director Alfred Hitchcock did a wonderful job of making this film very scary and suspenseful. I think that in that time, the movie Physco pushed the limits of what was allowed in  horror films which really gave the viewers the horror they were looking for. This film has great shots that help make the film scary. I find that the shower scene where Marion dies was really well shot and very effective. Since the director was limited to what he could and couldn't do, he had to be creative in the way that Marion was murdered and how he woud shoot that, and I think that it was done very well. I think that this movie also has a very good plot. Even though it was an older movie I think that it was very interesting and intriguing and always had you wondering and watching. I think that the twist at the end was very well done, because no one saw it coming. In the film, your always wondering if the police are going to catch the killer, and I know I personally was always wondering about what would happen to the mother. The ending really shocked me because I didn't notice the hints throughout the  movie which made the ending more of a shock to me. I think that despite all of the things that could have been used to make this movie more scary it was extreamly well done and very creepy. I think that this movie helped push the boundaries of horror films and helped make horror films what they are today. I think directors like Alfred Hitchcock helped shape the horror and suspense genre, and even though they didn't have the tools that we have today, they used their creativity to make their films. I almost think that the directors of old horror movies are more talented and creative people because of the lack of resources and boundaries that they had to follow. Because they were so restricted it forced them to come up with interesting ways to shoot scenes, and different ways to get the plot across. I think that horror movies today are completely different because it doesn't take as much creativity as it used to, to make them. I think that Physco is a good example of a horror film that helped shape the horror genre into what it is now.
