Classic, Cult or Crap?: The film that inspired more imitations than any other in the history of cinema, this is one of the most loved and praised masterpeices of all time. Alfred Hitckcock surpassed all his previous classics with this unpredictable tale of robbery, lust and schizophrenia. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, a shy young motel owner seemingly dominated by his mother. Janet Leigh is sexy as Marion Crane, who after dominating the first quarter of the film, is shockingly killed off in the most famous of murder scenes. You can never guess which dark alley Hitchcock is going to take us down next; he really does use every trick in the book to unnerve and horrify. Everything about this film as become iconic, from the Bates Motel itself, to the infamous shower scene. Darkwebonline Awards Won: Top 100 Horror Movies: No.2 "Interesting" Facts: Based on a novel by Robert Bloch, Bates was reportedly based on Ed Gein, whose evil deeds also inspired 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', and 'Silence of the Lambs'. 23 years later, Perkins returned as Bates for an unexpected sequel, which was followed by three more cliqued entries, and an extremely pointless remake. |
