    i don't believe i've seen it.

    Amityville for me...it scared the bejesus out of me. Psycho is great but in terms of horror, it didn't stay with me in the same way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,366 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Psycho for me, if it had of been the original Amidyville, would have been a closer call.

    A hitchcock classic.

    Ooops. I assumed it was. May have to withdraw my vote as haven't seen the new one. Sorry Necro!

    Psycho .

    Was going to vote Amityville until Kolido said it wasn't the original .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,149 ✭✭✭Tammy!


    I vote Psycho!

    Who doesn't get creeped out in the shower the odd time because of that scene?

    I first watched the film as a kid. I was actually grand during that scene. It was the later scene that freaked me out!!!

    trust issues with the people you live with?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,468 ✭✭✭Ectoplasm


    That scene might be why the song "Somebody's watching me" kind of freaked me out.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Interesting fact: in 1960 it was still customary to go in to a film at any moment in time, so it was a frequent occurrence that people would start a film somewhere in the middle, see the end, then stay until the next showing and see what they missed in the beginning.

    Hitchcock refused to allow people in after Psycho had started because it'd spoil the ending. Eventually that way of viewing films became the norm. Weird to think of it now, but it was an amazing novelty to simply see a film from beginning to end.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,513 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Psycho 5-0 up here, are we getting ready for our first whitewash?


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Psycho gets 8.5 in imdb. Says it all.

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,513 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    And Amityville is stabbed to death in the shower by Psycho.

    A 6-0 mauling.

    First of many?
