Scary movies are made to take some excitement away from the viewers and it also makes the person feel a little uncomfortable to watch the movie. Some movies are known to be scary by a combination of multiple things like the intimidating music and the unexpected view of people doing something horrible. The music is one thing that can seem suspicious within the film which can tell the viewer that something horrible is going to happen. Some movies can be sometimes known as scary by the name of the film and also because of the viewers not expecting the unexpected while watching the film.

The film, Psycho, didn’t exactly seem like a scary movie to me because I did expect those killings from Norman. I wasn’t really scared of watching the film because I realized it within the name that there were going to be some things unexpected things to happen that no one else would expect to happen. The film was made to be scary because no one would have possibly expected Norman to have a split personality and who would have killed Marion Crane including the detective. It was interesting to see how the music and Norman’s actions were the main parts of how this film was considered scary to some people. It was just unexpected to see that Norman would actually kill anyone, as an innocent person, but who is actually a psychopathic maniac who would then blame his actions on his mother who actually was dead for some many years.

  1. Some good thoughts here...I'd like to see you show your understanding of film terminology a bit more. Although, you do make an excellent point about the music. The image that you included initially led me to believe that you were going to break down the final scene of the film, and that's the kind of "close" analysis I'm trying to get you guys to perform.
