    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." As first a private detective, then Marion's sister (Vera Miles) searches for her, the horror and the suspense mount to a terrifying climax where the mysterious killer is finally revealed.

I didn't even thought psychiatrists and psychologists were fully aware of cases like Norman's in those times, so I can't imagine how surprised and disgusted people have felt in the 60's after watching this movie, no wonder why it was so groundbreaking and still one of the best examples (if not the best) of an insane serial killer in cinema, what a great movie!

      Psycho will always be great and special. It's actually fun watching some of the better UA-cam Reaction videos for Psycho. The scene with Detective Arbogast on the staircase always seems to get a big jump or gasp, because most people already know the shower sequence out of context; they've never seen the part where actor Martin Balsam encounters Mrs. Bates.

Tony is SO HANDSOME in that movie, too and really does a phenomenal role! We watched it 6 times and stijll cannot figure out hthe ending! CLASSIC FABULOUS eerie movie!

      I don't agree Perkins was irreplaceable. Whilst I agree that Vaughn was a miscast I could imagine a younger Kevin Spacey or Wes Bentley having the necessary qualities necessary to nail the role. I even think Woody Harrelson circa late 80s/early 90s to have being a good candidate as he, like Perkins, could jump from passive, charming and docile to sinister and menacing. I even think the young actor who plays Norman in Bates Motel is very similar to Perkins in his presence and acting style. Even Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump displayed the classic socially awkward qualities Norman had that would make him somewhat suitable.
