Psycho - a film that the mere mention of will send shivers down anyone who appreciates the genre and the wonders of Hitchcock. I have grown-up with the film being constantly referenced and it's one of those films where you see spoofs continually for it. I am ashamed to say now that I was one of those people where the film just "passes-by", I hadn't seen the film and hadn't even heard of Psycho II, III or IIII - they are all amazing. This review is just talking about the basic aspects of actual box set, which I thought didn't fail, I must say that Anthony Perkins is a wonderful Norman Baites, and when he's onscreen there's not a moment that disappoints.
Overall, a fantastic film, the type that EVERYONE should have in the collection; Love Horror? Get it! Love Classic Cinema at it's best? Get it! I'm so glad I did!

An excellent opportunity to get all four Psycho movies in one box. The first movie of course features the infamous shower scene, the subject of much subsequent parody, although too many focus on the climax of his scene; the lead up, in which the audience can see the killer outside the shower curtain as a silhouette, and the aftermath, with the rotating, drawn out shot of the victim, are both very well done. Some good psychological stuff with Marion Crane's journey prior to her arrival at the Bates Motel as well. Needless to say, the first movie is a masterpiece, but the other three are fair movies in their own right, particularly the second. While they lack some of the insight and directorial skills of the first film, they remain enjoyable, often with moments of black or unintentional humour.

Psycho is by far a genre definig series.It has suspense,
atmosphere and an outstanding and terrifying performance
by the late Anthony Perkins as the muderous Norman Bates.
This 4 disc set begins with the original movie and through
the two sequels continues the story.the fourth movie is
mainly a look back at Normans childhood and what compelled
him to kill.With the exception of the last two films,Psycho
and Psycho II are terrifying.The 2nd especially.Highly recommended!

got more ridiculous with the addition of numbers
The first a classic and the fourth a farce and the two in the middle got progressively worst. The latter two shamed the original but they came in a nice package. Read more

Don't use the motel shower!
The first film, the original, is a legend of its time. The rest, however, are not up to much, and predictable.

Great
Simply good if you are into sick and gloomey things. Good enough to watch more than once.

Excellent Set of Films
This is an excellent collection of films, with - in my opinion - the original Hitchcock "Psycho" and the final film, "Psycho IV", being the best of the set. Read more
