Movies Ahead Of Their Time: Psycho

Published: July 7, 2021, 1 a.m.

Welcome back Reel Friends! On last week's episode, Alex and Walker were gifted the category of Movies Ahead Of Their Time. With a few movies in mind, the duo inevitably landed on an Alfred Hitchcock classic, Psycho. "Phoenix office worker Marion Crane is fed up with the way life has treated her. She has to meet her lover Sam in lunch breaks, and they cannot get married because Sam has to give most of his money away in alimony. One Friday, Marion is trusted to bank forty thousand dollars by her employer. Seeing the opportunity to take the money and start a new life, Marion leaves town and heads towards Sam's California store. Tired after the long drive and caught in a storm, she gets off the main highway and pulls into the Bates Motel. The motel is managed by a quiet young man called Norman who seems to be dominated by his mother". In this horrifying thriller, we see never before used camera effects and shooting styles that put this film on the frontline of innovation. Want to know more? Then sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode of Spin The Reel!
