Psycho - Collector's Edition

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 is considered by many to be perfect. Psycho was initially received by audiences with great shock and amazement. Now it is considered the prototypical Hitchcock movie with its setting, pace and use of suspense. Stars Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh, Vera Mills, Jon Gavin and Martin Balsam.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film
