“Timeless classic. Superb performances and the infamous shower scene make this the perfect nightmare.” (Empire Magazine)

“Infamous for its shower scene, but immortal for its contribution to the horror genre. Because PSYCHO was filmed with tact, grace, and art, Alfred Hitchcock didn’t just create modern horror, he validated it.” (Rotten Tomatoes)

“After half a century of terror, PSYCHO is still ensuring that no one feels safe in the shower.” (Guardian)
