Aroview: Only Mr. Hitchcock could plunder B-movie conventions and turn in the biggest box-office success of his career.
A plethora of sensational ingredients, arguably highlighted by Anthony Perkins' creepy benevolence, Bernard Herrmann's tormented score and that shower scene, have all themselves since been subjected to extensive plundering.
Average rating (Exceptional). Showing 1-6 of 6 member reviews.
5 stars (Exceptional) Brilliant genre shift as well as an excellent performace from Perkins. ~dr.strangelove
5 stars (Exceptional) Perkins is brilliant, and the Norman Bates character is still intensely creepy. Hitchcock proves himself a master of more than one genre and cements certain horror elements for all time (think groundbreaking shower scene). ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Absorbing and creepy even now after thousands of inferior copy-cats have dulled the genre. ~Wizzums
4 stars (Very Good) Great performance from Norman Bates. Watch the "Making Of" on the Ann. Edition - its not only better than the film but it makes you appreciate more the skills of the Director, Editor, Composer et al. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) After half a century of terror, Psycho is still ensuring that no one feels safe in the shower. ~Anon
4 stars (Very Good) ~Wyatt Earp
