Alfred Hitchcocks film, pshyco, was a great thriller and advanced for the time period it was filmed in. It has just the right amount of suspence and intresting twists and turns that leave the viewer not knowing whats going to happen next. Well, except for people getting murdered. It was pretty obvious people were just going to keep dying. The music in phsyco is classic. I don’t think the movie would be the same without its sound effects and music. The way that the music changed often and went from high pitch and suspenceful to lower and eerie, made me become more interested. I liked the way the house was portrayed, always from afar, and almost always at night. The filmmakers did a good job at making the house seem a cold, lonley, crazy, eerie, place. As soon as Norman Bates came on the scene it was obvious there was something not quite right about the man. He was just, weird, a little to smiley, just, seemed like he “lost a few marbles” along the way. I think the way Hitchcock provided two possible murderers and they turned out to be the same person was really clever.

I agree that the music and sound effects in Psycho added a great deal to the movie's suspense and scare factor. In addition, the awkward personality shown by Norman Bates during his first appearance was enough to grab my attention and become more and more wrapped up in the movie's disturbing plot.
