For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho (and particularly its classic set piece, the "shower scene"), nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred Hitchcock skillfully seduces you into identifying with the main characters--then pulls the rug (or the bathmat) out from under you. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, the mama's boy proprietor of the Bates Motel; and so is Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, who makes an impulsive decision and becomes a fugitive from the law, hiding out at Norman's roadside inn for one fateful night. --Jim Emerson

What can I say that the movie cannot tell you better. This is a chiller classic and can give you goosebumps to this day.

I recently ordered this region free Psycho Blu-Ray from Amazon UK where it was already released. I was extremely pleased with the audio/video quality. [...] has a review on their site about this release. I'm thinking this will be the same product once released here in the US.

"Psycho" is one of the oldest most successful horror films of all-time. "Psycho" was made in an era where horror films focused on the plot rather the gore. Director Alfred Hitchcock created and turned "Psycho" into a classic hit.
"Psycho" is about Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) a business worker, who is asked by her boss to take a large sum of money and deposit it into the bank. Instead of following orders, Marion decides to keep the money for herself and get out of town. After driving for a long time, she decides to stop at the bates motel for the night. She meets the owner of the hotel Norman Bates. While showering, Bates's mother kills Marion.
After not hearing or seeing Marion, her sister and boyfriend decided to go investigate the bates motel.
"Psycho" is a classic film that will be remembered for decades to come.

Psycho wouldn't be what it is without its cast or director. I'm not saying anything anyone doesn't already know. The pacing and lighting of this movie are part of the whole. Psycho is a tattoo on the landscape of the mind. Vera Miles spends just enough time in Norman's room to leave us wanting more. The editing is superb, and makes this movie.

This movie is okay for older children and I wouldn't show it AFTER crime dramas and movies such as Silence of the Lamb. One must start at the beginning. Anthony Perkins gangly beauty was never used to its best moneymaking effect in Hollywood. He always left the audience wanting more.
