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 Amazon.com: At last--a great American movie available on video for the first time in its original aspect ratio. 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. Psycho gets the masterpiece treatment it deserves on DVD, with extras including newsreel footage surrounding the making and release of the movie; an archive of production stills; the special trailer in which Hitchcock (acting as one of the original Universal Studio tour guides) himself leads viewers around the Bates place; credit designer Saul Bass's original 'shower scene' story boards; posters and advertising materials for the movie's William Castle-like publicity campaign (No One Will Be Seated After the Feature Begins!); and a 90-minute documentary on the making of the film! What more could any movie fan possibly want? --Jim Emerson Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Great DVD of a great classic What more can I say than what the review title says? I've seen Psycho several times over the years on T.V., and enjoyed it very much. Now having it in my DVD collection to watch anytime I want is a great bonus. For those of you who love this movie very much, and want to have it on DVD, don't hesitate to add it to your collection! Rating: - Great features The movie is of course a classic, not much more to say about it. The features add new information I'd never run across as a Hitchcock fan. Great special edition Rating: - Great extras for a fabulously wicked film Hitchcock and a shower. That's all you need to know to identify this film classic and this special edition is phenomenal with great extras and commentary, The delivery was swift, and it is now a more than welocme ediition to my Hitchcock collection. The Master of Suspense does more with less... less gore and less camera trickery along with great storytelling and a wit that is dark yet strangely humorous at times. I could not be happier... even though I may take a bath after watching! Rating: - Hours of Entertainment! This is how a DVD should be done. The packaging, the film, and the extras are done perfectly. Disc 1: *Psycho in great quality. *Trailers *Newsreel footage *Posters and Ads *Commentary *Storyboards for the shower scene Disc 2: *A Making of Psycho with the actors of the movie looking back on the the film. *A segment with famous directors discussing the influence of Read More Rating: - The story of the ultimate mama's boy!!! XXXXX Early in this movie the viewer is told that a boy's best friend is his mother. Is this true?? This movie is a suspense/horror/the first psychoanalytic thriller directed by the "master of suspense" himself, Alfred Hitchcock. It is based on the novel "Psycho" by Robert Bloch, which in turn was inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin murderer Ed Gein. Briefly, this film depicts the encounter between secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) who is hiding in a motel ...
