Movie – Psycho
Score : 9.5/10 (read on)
Year : 1960
Director: Alfred Hitchcock
Country : USA
Language : English
Duration: 1h49
Writers : Robert Bloch (novel) ; Joseph Stefano (screenplay)
Note : IMDB rates this as '' X '', and in the detailed parental guide
tells us it would be a modern ''strong PG13'', after all, this is, a
Hitchcock movie with murder and partial nudity, not the material you'd
want to see if you are extremely sensitive, or let your underaged kids
see... however, if I, a very sensitive man, can watch this, most
of you won't have troubles at all.
The movie revolves around A Phoenix secretary who steals $40,000
from her employer's client, and runs away... where ? you probably know,
but if you don't, watch and find it out for yourself...
I love the score, the acting, directing, lighting, that if it hadn't
been for the taxidermy animals shown now & then, I'd give this
feature a 10/10.. well, technically it still does get it, but my
appreciation for the movie is 9.5, just because I must reduce a bit from
the small parts I dislike about it.
Psycho was our Halloween movie in 2014. We watched it on a bluray with a stunning, crystal clear
image as if the movie had been done today, not in 1960, and with a
DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 (48kHz, 24-bit) sound, after what must have been
a very time consuming process to deliver a visual slap in the face, 12
times...
I will let you know more about the bonus material once I get to
watch them, till then, I can already say that there is a lovely animated
menu to access the various elements on it : the movie, chosen language,
sound preferences, subtitles, bonus...
so, if you're a fan of Alfred's movies, thrillers, old movies, I suggest you get this, you won't regret it.
Starring : Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Janet Leigh, Martin Balsam, and others, including Patricia Hitchcock (the director's daughter)
