Psycho [SteelBook] [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [1960]

It’s seriously time for some better packaging. I have a hilariously high rate of damage ranging from small dents to steelbooks bent in half. I’m reaching the point of no longer wanting to order my steelbooks from Best Buy. Invisible man came in a box for some reason and it was flawless. Those cardboard mailers are horrible for an item that dents easily. Nearly every time I order from one of your competitors the steelbook comes flawless. It’s sad that I find that I’m lowering my standards for Best Buy steelbooks. What’s worse is that I place my preorders the second these items become available. They come late and damaged. You’re out of stock. Now I’m at the mercy of eBay scalpers or have to accept a damaged item. At least give us the option to pick up in store when preordering. Or give us advice on when we can switch to that option because the switch to store pickup button is nearly always disabled.

Outstanding picture quality and bonus features. A+

The review is in no way about the movie. Psycho is an amazing watch and deserves 5+ stars. The review is for the egregious packaging that is sent when delivering steelbooks. The copy I received was completely smashed in at the top and had broken spine magnet. All steelbooks need to be delivered in boxes not plastic mailer bags.

Psycho is a recognized film with a well-known story about Marion Crane performed by Janet Leigh. She works inside of a Phoenix, Arizona office and when Marion’s employer trusts her with a larger amount of money, and he gives it to her. Marion wants to live a new life with her fiancé, Sam, performed by John Gavin. Marion leaves right away and she drives with her car towards Southern California where her lover is located. When Marion is caught by a major storm later on in the movie, she leaves the highway and enters Bates Hotel property. The hotel has twelve rooms, and they are managed by a strange young man, Norman Bates performed by Anthony Perkins, who is obsessed and dependent on his overbearing mother. Furthermore, a detective named Arbogast performed Martin Balsam, and Marion’s sister are performed by Vera Miles. Her fiancé Sam and Marion’s sister are looking for Marion. They are asking for help from a stubborn sheriff performed by John McIntire. The shower scene in the movie is one of the most studied, copied and analyzed sequences in cinema history because the toilet was the first to show up in this film. Beautiful performance by Anthony Perkins is in an immortal role as Norman Bates and a memorable performance by Janet Leigh. Imaginative and superbly constructed plot, filled with delicious black humor by writer Joseph Stefano based on Robert Bloch's novel, Psycho. The shots in the movie were excellent in black and white cinematography by the cameraman John Russell. Hitchcock thought it wouldn’t be very gory in color, and this was a low budget horror film. The musical score by legendary Bernard Herrmann makes it is endlessly encouraging score to create a thrilling atmosphere for a virtuous film.

Image quality and sound are amazing. Even though I have seen this film many times this version elevates the experience to a level as if I am seeing it for the first time. I am seeing and hearing things in this version that I never noticed before.

Alfred Hitchcock at his best. This movie is suspenseful and scary unexpected and dark. Don't watch it alone.

Excellent addition to my collection classic horror

Shipping was quick. The movie is of course a classic Hitchcock film and never disappoints.
