Directed by - Alfred Hitchcock

Written by - Joseph Stefano (based on a novel by Robert Bloch)

Starring - Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, Martin Balsam, John McIntire, Janet Leigh, Marion Crane

"What is still regarded not only as one of Hitchcock’s best films but also one of the most shocking films ever made is also a precursor for the modern horror genre, with its unpredictable twists, shocking developments and unsettling feeling as well as one of the most iconic characters in the history of the genre, Norman Bates in a stand out performance by Anthony Perkins, and of course one of the most distinguished and famous sequences in a  film with the shower scene that is a perfect collaboration of camerawork, editing and soundtrack. Gripping to start to finish, an intelligent mix of psychological and physical horror by the master of suspense."
