It turns the screws tight. <br /><br />I've seen all of the sequels to Psycho (including the lamentable Psycho 4). Psycho did pretty well with sequels. I'm very fond of Psycho 3, actually. Tony Perkins did himself proud with that film.Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-19926509700595609952012-05-15T02:29:54.853-07:002012-05-15T02:29:54.853-07:00How are you transgender?How are you transgender?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-29439607369124062802012-05-15T02:26:21.237-07:002012-05-15T02:26:21.237-07:00Have you ever seen Psycho 2?

I remember friends of my parents, a nice atomic age couple, who had seen this film, speaking of it with a strange, sheer fear - as if they had actually encountered something supernatural. While my dad and his pal were in the kitchen, the wife spoke confidentially to my mother, quietly. "He was screaming," she said, clearly disturbed as though revealing a terrible secret, talking about her husband watching the shower scene. "He was just . . . just <i>screaming</i>." <br /><br />I'll never forget how palpable her disquiet was. I've never heard again a film being spoken about with such unfun terror.Mykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-82618445780379049192012-05-14T15:07:43.131-07:002012-05-14T15:07:43.131-07:00Hi, Marilyn.

Norman is so deeply embedded in the the culture now that the movie has been robbed of its surprises. I still like Norman, though, to the extent that I really sympathize with him even in Psycho's sequels. Not so much in the Van Sant remake, though, because Vince Vaughn just isn't as likeable as Tony Perkins.Vulnavia Morbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04722740955194993451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814440.post-63629815220480073102012-05-14T14:26:43.145-07:002012-05-14T14:26:43.145-07:00Christianne - This is a terrific post.

I'm drawn to the shower scene like a cat to catnip - the way it is shot and scored is utter brilliance. I don't know if I come to sympathize with Norman, though I do see and largely agree with what you're saying. For someone who doesn't know Norman is Mrs. Bates, this would be a natural reaction - we don't know he's the killer yet, even though indications are pretty strong. That's why Vera Miles has to be brought in, so we don't end up thinking we're monsters ourselves. I've always wondered whether Mrs. Bates was really so bad, or if Norman was the proverbial bad seed. Guess we'll never know. Thanks for participating in the blogathon.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513072379930200159noreply@blogger.com
