Marion Crane, a secretary fleeing with stolen money, checks into the remote Bates Motel seeking refuge. There she encounters Norman Bates, a peculiar manager whose relationship with his unseen mother grows increasingly disturbing.
Cindy says
Hitchcock's masterclass in suspense still lands brutally hard—that shower scene isn't famous for nothing. Perkins is unnervingly perfect as Norman, and the black-and-white cinematography creates a claustrophobic dread that modern horror mostly can't touch. Essential viewing.
