Paramount won't let anyone enter theatres where Psycho is playing after the picture starts. No one will want to leave before it is over.

Rating: 5/5 --
Even now, it's distinctly unnerving.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Fifty years on, PSYCHO is still damn near perfect. It makes us shudder, sweat, and shield our eyes.
Entertainment Weekly
Alfred Hitchcock's latest is not his customary comedy-thriller but a gruesome horror tale with overtones of spiritualism and the padded cell, although as usual the master's tongue is occasionally in his cheek.

Maclean's Magazine
5 stars out of 5 -- It's such an essential film -- remaining fresh, shocking, perversely funny and tragic...
Empire
I think the film is a reflection of a most unpleasant mind, a mean, sly, sadistic little mind.

Product Description:
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.
