Amazon.co.uk Review
For all the slasher pictures that have ripped off Psycho (and particularly its classic set piece, the "shower scene"), nothing has ever matched the impact of the real thing. More than just a first-rate shocker full of thrills and suspense, Psycho is also an engrossing character study in which director Alfred Hitchcock skilfully seduces you into identifying with the main characters--then pulls the rug (or the bathmat) out from under you. Anthony Perkins is unforgettable as Norman Bates, the mama's boy proprietor of the Bates Motel; and so is Janet Leigh as Marion Crane, who makes an impulsive decision and becomes a fugitive from the law, hiding out at Norman's roadside inn for one fateful night. --Jim Emerson

5.0 out of 5 stars
PSYCHO as you've never seen it before!!!,
By
This review is from: Psycho - 50th Anniversary Special Edition Steelbook [Blu-ray] [1960][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
5 stars for this fabulous blu-ray edition because I highly recommend it! The transfer is pristine. One has never seen "Psycho" in such a high quality. Mister Hitchcock would be really proud of this high definition version! Image and sound are perfect. When you watch this blu-ray, you can't imagine the film is 50 years old. I was speechless with the North By Northwest blu-ray edition and, once again, an incredible job had been done on "Psycho". Can't wait to see the other Hitchcock masterpieces! This is a must you can't miss!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
masterpiece,
By
This review is from: Psycho (1960) [DVD] (DVD)
To compare this movie with the modern "psycho-slasher" is just plane silly. They may claim to be in the same genre but they are utterly different.Psycho has depth, characterisation, brilliant story-telling and still manages to be more scary as well ! Then consider when it was made and what its contempory films had to offer (big rubber monsters that Dr. Who would be at home with! ) and its clear the word Masterpiece is not an exageration. It caused a sensation on its release that no movie has ever matched before or since, and deserves to be in every D.V.D collection.

Not bad for the best Hitchcock,
By
This review is from: Psycho [Blu-ray][Region Free] (Blu-ray)
With a fantastic film like this which lets face it i hope you know, you would be more interested like me on the Blu-ray transfer, than telling you all about Norman Bates in the motel. Well first of all there is only so much you can do with a Black and White film, however, they have managed to achieve the best possible picture from the negatives that were available. The sound re done in 5.1 and is great a lot of care and effort to take the mono soundtrack and make it sound fresh and knew. (if you don't like things being fiddled with then the mono track is there). The extras appear to be no different to the special edition DVD. The rating is for the quality not the film, this is a 5 star film without question. If you do not have this at all the Blu-ray edition is for you, if you have the DVD apart from the soundtrack do not expect miracles.
