Psycho

Psycho

1960

Director Alfred Hitchcock's Oscar-nominated shocker has been terrifying viewers for decades. When exhausted, larcenous real estate clerk Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) goes on the lam with a wad of cash and hopes of starting a new life, she ends up at the notorious Bates Motel, where twitchy manager Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cares for his housebound mother. The place seems quirky but fine -- until Marion decides to take a shower.

The picture you MUST see from the beginning... Or not at all!... For no one will be seated after the start of... Alfred Hitchcock's greatest shocker Psycho.
