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 in turn been subjected to extensive plundering.

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
