The listing, Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" DIGITAL COPY ONLY Featuring the Bates Motel has ended.
My family & I have been enjoying the new A&E series "Bates Motel" & decided to buy the movie that started it all Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho with the DVD we received the digital copy. So if there are any Alfred Hitchcock fans or Bates Motel fans that would like the Digital copy here it is. We enjoyed watching the old classic very much especially the shower scene.
Credited with inventing the genre of the modern horror film, PSYCHO has had its share of sequels and imitators, none of which diminishes the achievement of this shocking and complex horror thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's choreography of elements in PSYCHO is considered so perfect it inspired a shot-by-shot remake by Gus Van Zant in 1998. However, Hitchcock's black-and-white original, featuring Anthony Perkins's haunting characterization of lonely motel keeper Norman Bates, has never been equaled. Bates presides over an out-of-the-way motel under the domineering specter of his mother. The young, well-intentioned Bates is introduced to the audience when Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), a blonde on the run with stolen money, checks in for the night. But Momma doesn't like loose women, so the stage is set for this classic tale of horror--and one of the most famous scenes in film history. PSYCHO was initially received by audiences with shock and amazement--and it still terrifies today. Though it is now considered prototypical Hitchcock, its setting, pace, and emphasis on terror were major departures for the director at the time, coming after the more classically grand NORTH BY NORTHWEST.
