Synopsis

Alfred Hitchcock's landmark masterpiece of the macabre stars Anthony Perkins as the troubled Norman Bates, whose old dark house and adjoining motel are not the place to spend a quiet evening. No one knows that better than Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), the ill-fated traveler whose journey ends in the notorious "shower scene." First a private detective, then Marion's sister (Vera Miles) searches for her, the horror and the suspense mounting to a terrifying climax where the mysterious killer is finally revealed.

    Based on the novel by Robert Bloch, and independently produced by Alfred Hitchcock, Psycho is a landmark of film-making. Having just embezzled money from her employer, Marion hides out at a motel run Norman Bates and his mother. What seems like a quiet place to stay is a lot more dangerous than Marion realises. A classic suspense film, Psycho slowly builds up the tension, as Hitchcock teases the viewer with moments where something expected to happen doesn't, which creates an atmosphere that's brilliantly unnerving. In this way, Hitchcock works on the imagination rather than going for cheap violence, which makes Psycho so effective.
