CAST REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 5-Jul-2005) Originally intended as an "in-house" film
"joke", PSYCHO began filming at the turn of the late 1950's. Soon to
follow, the script and acting made such an impression on Hitchcock and
Univeral, it was decided to complete the film as a commercial feature.
Over the years, PSYCHO was claimed as Hitchcock's masterpiece, much to
the surprise of many. Ahead of its time and full of taboo shock, the
feature became a "cult" favorite. Hollywood has paid its respects to
the film by issuing several serials as well as an exact remake in the
late 1990's. If you like showers, don't see this film!
Review by anonymous (posted on 27-Dec-2006) Arguably the greatest piece of horror cinema ever made, Alfred Hitchcock drifted away from his suspense thriller films and towards the horror film. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) need a place to rest, noticing the remote and isolated Bates Motel while driving down a highway, she meets Norman Bates, a strange man working at the desk...she eats dinner with him, then takes a shower. One of the most infamous scenes in Cinema, Janet Leigh is murdered by Perkins (a segment which by itself makes Hitchcock the "Master of Suspense"). Crane's sister and husband, along with a detective (Martin Baslam) try to unravel the mystery of her disappearance, the detective is killed and the two adventure even further into the mystery...leading to a horrific climax. Forty-five years ago, the film still stands as one of the most influential landmarks in cinema and is arguably Hitchcock's finest work.
