Title: Psycho w excellent transfer and good extras
Review: I remember watching Psycho on TV when I was around 12-13 years old. I still remember the shocking parts well. 25 years later I thought that I remembered it so well that I wasn't particularly interested in re-watching it. Anyway, finally I bought the 'Universal Legacy Series' edition DVD, and I'm glad for it. First of all, the transfer/picture quailty of this DVD is fantastic (just like Vertigo in the same series). I watched it on a projector. And the movie is far better than I remembered, the actors are excellent and the black/white photography superb. Ok, you can always make a remark about the explanatory psychiatric speech in the end, but this was a requirement at the time to get it through the censorship! This, and other fascinating things, is explained in the interesting commentary track, well worth listening to after watching the film.
Is the review positive or negative?
