About this product

Product Information

Credited with inventing the genre of the modern horror film, PSYCHO has had its share of sequels and imitators, none of which diminishes the achievement of this shocking and complex horror thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's choreography of elements in PSYCHO is considered so perfect it inspired a shot-by-shot remake by Gus Van Zant in 1998. However, Hitchcock's black-and-white original, featuring Anthony Perkins's haunting characterization of lonely motel keeper Norman Bates, has never been equaled. Bates presides over an out-of-the-way motel under the domineering specter of his mother. The young, well-intentioned Bates is introduced to the audience when Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a blonde on the run with stolen money, checks in for the night. But Momma doesn't like loose women, so the stage is set for this classic tale of horror--and one of the most famous scenes in film history. PSYCHO was initially received by audiences with shock and amazement--and it still terrifies today. Though it is now considered prototypical Hitchcock, its setting, pace, and emphasis on terror were major departures for the director at the time, coming after the more classically grand NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

    Great classic film! DVD in perfect condition

    Classic movie that my youngest daughter had been wanting to see. She loved it and I loved that we watched it together. I am hoping to get her to watch all the Alfred Hitchcock classics. They are so much better than some of the films made today. I wish movies today were made as good as these made so many years ago. The DVD worked great, looked brand new and I couldn't be happier.

    Couldn't Harm A Fly

    The only reason why I bought this movie is because it is on the AFI's 100 years list. I think I may have seen this a long time, but am not a huge Horror buff at all. However, I have been watching more Alfred Hitchcock Films. This woman who rips off some money ends up at his desolate hotel. In the beginning, Norman Bates is a normal looking and acting man. For some reason the woman is murdered without a reason it seems. Is it his mother who did it, or Norman Bates or both? Watch the movie!

  • Mother knows best

    One of the best films ever made! Hitchcock was a genius. Anthony Perkins is wonderful as everyones favorite psycho. This film will keep you on the edge of your seat. Janet Leigh couldn't be more beautiful. It's a shame they don't make movies as great as psycho.

  • You should watch at least once in your life.

    There were a couple of hick-ups where the video stopped, skipped but not too bad and I did buy it used. Basically, a good buy. The movie itself is a classic, but many scenes are very dark, not in subject matter, but literally hard to see kind of dark.

  • Entertaining flick!

    This old movie is still a favorite, but quite honestly, I preferred the original full screen version over the widescreen!
