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.
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.
