Widely criticized when first released, Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock’s masterworks. Based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Robert Bloch, this shocking thriller follows the story of Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) a secretary who steals $40,000 of a client’s money from her employer and flees Phoenix by car, headed for California. Taking shelter from a violent thunderstorm, she stops at the Bates Motel, a decision she will soon regret as soon as she meets the creepy proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a young man with an interest in taxidermy who has other things in store for her.
