Torrent description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Psycho is a 1960 suspense/horror film directed by auteur Alfred Hitchcock, from the
screenplay by Joseph Stefano about a psychotic killer. It is based on the novel of the
same name by Robert Bloch, which was in turn inspired by the crimes of Wisconsin
murderer Ed Gein. The film depicts the encounter between a secretary, Marion
Crane (Janet Leigh), who is in hiding at a motel after embezzling from her employer,
and the motel's owner, the lonely Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins).
It initially received mixed reviews but outstanding box-office returns, prompting a rereview
which was overwhelmingly positive and led to four Academy Award
nominations. Regarded today as one of Hitchcock's best films and highly praised as
a work of cinematic art by international critics, Psycho is also acclaimed as one of the
most effective horror films.It was a genre defining film, and almost every scene is
legendary, and many have been copied or parodied. The film spawned several
sequels and a remake, which are generally seen as works of lesser quality.
"The Shower Scene" has been studied, discussed, and cited countless times in print
and in film courses much with debate focusing on why it is so terrifying and how it
was produced, including how it passed the censors and debate over who actually
directed it


Plot summary


The movie opens in Phoenix, Arizona, where discreet lovers Marion Crane (Janet
Leigh) and Sam Loomis (John Gavin) want to but cannot marry, as Sam is in debt
and must also pay heavy alimony to his ex-wife. Unhappy and desperate to improve
their situation, Marion steals $40,000 in cash from her office and drives to California,
where Sam lives. All the while, Marion is nervous and apprehensive, and drives well
into the night, eventually parking alongside the road to sleep.
She is awakened by a highway police officer, who warns her that it is dangerous to
sleep in a car and tells her in the future to find a motel. However, Marion's agitation
and desperation to leave arouses his suspicions. The officer looks at her license and
registration, taking note of the plate number. He allows her to go on, but follows her,
which agitates Marion further. Realizing that he now knows her plate number, is
suspicious of her and that she can be tracked by the authorities when the money is
reported stolen, she trades her 1956 Ford (and pays an additional $700) for a 1957
Ford before continuing to California. She is not aware that the same officer has seen
the exchange and gotten her new plate number.
