Hitchcock's movie Psycho is about a girl, her greed and poetic justice in the form of a crazy, and a killer with multiple personalities. It all starts when the main character Marion Crane still 40000 dollars from her boss so she and her lover( who is cheating on his wife) can go live together someplace else. When Marion stops for the night in a vacant motel she meets the killer Norman Bates. Later that night she is killed by a weird women. The body is then cleaned up by Norman. After the killing Marion's sister goes to look for her and what they find out will live in infamy in the annals of movie history.
After watching Psycho I have learned that to always lock the bathroom door and to never stay at vacant motels with creepy owners. This movie is definitely a must see for all you movie buffs and horror lovers. With its story that sucks you in and the final twist that drop your jaw.
