Even the cover is creeping me out. <br /><br />Your description sounds just like the movie, but I think what people miss out on from just watching the movie is the thinking behind the 'psycho' aspect of it. I think exploring that would be interesting. If I'm ever brave enough, I will have to pick this one up. Bravo to you for doing that. ;)Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.com
