    Definitely Hitchcock’s best film in my opinion! I gotta get the DVD!

    For your next Monster Madness, you should talk about the infamous 1998 color remake by Gus Van Sant because of being known as a “shot-for-shot” carbon copy of the original.

    I’m suprised you didn’t mention the Gus Van Sant remake, James or that this was based on the murderer and graverobber, Ed Gein.

    When you think of horror films, this has to be one of the 1st ones anyone would think of. Hitchcock was a fucking GENIUS! His films are amazing, and this film is right at the top of his list.

    One of the GREATEST films ever made! Those shrieking violins are amazing. 50 years old, and still, holds up today

    I finally saw this masterpiece a couple of years ago and was transfixed. There was alot more “nudity” shown than at the time, and I could appreciate the editing of the shower scene after having seen its parodies over the years. And the end was truly frightening!

    If anyone is seeking to buy Hitchcock’s Psycho, make sure it has the original trailer. Its a 6 and half minute guided tour of the Bates Motel, with Mr. Hitchcock as your personal guide. Its wonderful to see “the Master of Suspense” not only as an amazing storyteller, but as a man with great sense of humor.

    One of Hitchcock’s best.

    Well…Patrick Bateman killed more people then Norman Bates. If I remember right.

    And by that, I would have to say Patrick would win.

    Amazing film, Next Monster Madness you should review the rest of the series. Psycho 2, 3, and 4 are very under-rated and overlooked.
