The story is set in a roadside motel, owned by Norman Bates, and next to the motel is a
house where Mr. Bates and his mother lives. One rainy night a young woman named
Marion Crane arrives at the place, requesting a room using a false name after stealing $
40,000 from her boss. Another night Marion decides to take a shower and go to bed.
When the young woman seems to be enjoying her shower, a shadow appears behind the
curtain and suddenly a person with a knife kill her. After a week, Marion's boyfriend and
her sister start looking for Marion, and they start a story full of mystery and suspense.

I really like this movie and I think it is too entertaining, although it is an old movie with
black and white images I think it’s a great movie that a lot of adolescents need to watch
and share with friends.
