Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with American Movie Classics just before his death, Anthony Perkins admitted he was not up to the task of directing this film, feeling his technical knowledge to be too limited.
- GoofsWhen the reporter Tracy is shown Mrs. Spool's apartment, the manager tells her that the police have already paraded through the apartment. Yet there is mail and a notepad by the phone and magazines with many phone numbers on the covers. It is inconceivable that the police did not take these items in order to get answers to Mrs. Spool's disappearance, especially since one of the phone numbers was for Bates Motel, obviously linking Norman to her.

Duane Duke: [to Maureen] Stupid bitch! You could have been comin' instead of goin'!

Featured review
NORMAN BATES IS CRAZIER THAN EVER IN THE BEST PSYCHO YET!
Psycho 3***1/2[3 1/2 Stars]- This is truly the best Psycho and one of the best slashers ever made. Anthony Perkins gives his best performance as Norman Bates yet and he directs just as well as Alfred Hitchcock in his directorial day-view. Better and more killing scenes. Norman Bates is crazier than ever and in this movie hes a true psycho. The whole truth about Normans mother is revealed and the ending is awesome with a great twist.
