Summary: Hitchcock's best
Comment: I have never forgotten this movie from the first time I saw it in a theater. The shower scene scared me along with a lot of others there. At the time I had a Ford like Janet Leigh drove in the movie and would not open the trunk for a couple of weeks. I have it on tape and just had to add the Special Edition to my DVD collection of Hitchcock movies. It is one of his best. The fools that thought they could remake this movie were nuts. Part of what makes the movie so good is that it is in black and white. Besides no one can out do the master when it comes to mystery and the way he seemed to know the best actors for the roles. No one was as good at playing a Psycho as Tony Perkins.

Summary: Great Special Edition
Comment: I'd been waiting to buy Psycho until a worthy special edition came along, and i'm glad i did. This has just about anything you'd want to know about the movie and a great transfer to boot. Even after knowing all of the secrets about the movie, it still packs quite a punch.

Summary: horror, black humour and a bloody tale: the first of its kind!
Comment: "Mr. Hitchcock, because of your movie, my daughter is afraid to take a shower"

"You may have her dry cleaned"

That was Hitchcock's response to a mother who was concerned about her daughter's reaction to his film Psycho. This is a film that really affects the viewer. It's the first modern film on the subject of the psychotic killer. Its' narrative is one of the most influential in the genre of suspense and horror. The shower scene alone is proof of its' merit. It set a new standard for editing.

Summary: ATTENTION! REVIEW OF THE NEW SPECIAL EDITION
Comment: After the first release of Psycho on DVD,the disc istself was crammed with wonderful features.Now under Universal Legacy it got released once again-but be warned-The film itself looks better,but not marginally.The Features are exact the same with the exception of a new Audio Commenatary and two new docs.As a Special Bonus you get the classic episode of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS : A LAMB FOR THE SLAUGHTER.So decide for yourself:If you haven't own the first release this is the one to buy.Otherwise save your dollars.

Editorial Reviews:

One of the most shocking films of all time, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho, is now available as a new 2-Disc Special Edition! Join the Master of Suspense on a chilling journey as an unsuspecting victim (Janet Leigh) visits the Bates Motel and falls prey to one of cinema’s most notorious psychopaths – Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins).

Named #1 on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Thrills list, this notorious film has become a cultural phenomenon. Featuring one of the most iconic scenes in film history - the famous “shower scene” – plus new bonus features and digitally remastered picture, Psycho is “still terrifying after all these years” (Leonard Maltin’s Classic Movie Guide).
