Credited with inventing the genre of the modern horror film PSYCHO has had its share of sequels and imitators none of which diminishes the achievement of this shocking and complex horror thriller. Alfred Hitchcock's choreography of elements in PSYCHO is considered so perfect it inspired a shot-by-shot remake by Gus Van Zant in 1998. However Hitchcock's black-and-white original featuring Anthony Perkins's haunting characterization of lonely motel keeper Norman Bates has never been equaled. Bates presides over an out-of-the-way motel under the domineering specter of his mother. The young well-intentioned Bates is introduced to the audience when Marion Crane Janet Leigh a blonde on the run with stolen money checks in for the night. But Momma doesn't like loose women so the stage is set for this classic tale of horror--and one of the most famous scenes in film history.
