This is so realism for me. I felt very scared after I watched this film. Overall film is black and white and I tried to imagine the colour. The film killing scene without Computer Generate Imaged (CGI). The era 1960, the film without CGI is very scary. The psycho killer like a real killer in reality. I experienced a real psycho. A real psycho really thought to kill her parents and friends. They lose their empathy. The murderer mindset was corrected if you experience that same as me. That was really scary. This film made me flashed back the girl almost same as Norman.
