Synopsis:
Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, whose "old dark house" and adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one knows that better than Janet Leigh, the film's ill-fated heroine who is victimized in the now-notorious "shower scene". Vera Miles, Martin Balsam, John Gavin and John McIntire co-star in Hitchcock's most compelling and terrifying film. Screenplay by Joseph Stefano.
It's been written that no film made before or since has equalled Psycho's ability to scare people out of their wits and leave irremovable splinters of disquiet in their memories. A landmark of suspense cinema, this Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece shattered attendance records in 1960 and had people fleeing up the theatre aisles.
The grandaddy of today's horror films was based on a novel by Robert Bloch which, in turn, had been inspired by real-life events.

The grandaddy of all Slasher/Mad Killer films. Perkins gives a an all time classic creepy performance...
The one I'me reviewing here, has a red cover under the title 'The HItchcock collection'.
The Source print is disappointing. It doen't look like it's been cleaned up and restored. We then still await a special edition of this movie. The time is ticking on. If want this film in it's Ideal form, it's best to wait for this in that case
