FILM DESCRIPTION: In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock was already famous as the screen's master of suspense (and perhaps the best-known film director in the world) when he released Psycho and forever changed the shape and tone of the screen thriller. From its first scene, in which an unmarried couple balances pleasure and guilt in a lunchtime liaison in a cheap hotel (hardly a common moment in a major studio film in 1960), Psycho announced that it was taking the audience to places it had never been before, and on that score what followed would hardly disappoint. Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) is unhappy in her job at a Phoenix, Arizona real estate office and frustrated in her romance with hardware store manager Sam Loomis (John Gavin). One afternoon, Marion is given $40,000 in cash to be deposited in the bank. Minutes later, impulse has taken over and Marion takes off with the cash, hoping to leave Phoenix for good and start a new life with her purloined nest egg. 36 hours later, paranoia and exhaustion have started to set in, and Marion decides to stop for the night at the Bates Motel, where nervous but personable innkeeper Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) cheerfully mentions that she's the first guest in weeks, before he regales her with curious stories about his mother. There's hardly a film fan alive who doesn't know what happens next, but while the shower scene is justifiably the film's most famous sequence, there are dozens of memorable bits throughout this film. The first of a handful of sequels followed in 1983, while Gus Van Sant's controversial remake, starring Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche, appeared in 1998.

She's pretty impressive to able to stand under the shower head before the water even warms up.
The scary part isn't the scene itself. It's every shower you take afterwards.
“when im in the shower, im afraid to wash my hair cus i might open my eyes and find someone standing there”. - rockwell
2:15 One of the most beautiful shots in cinema. Movies like these make you wonder how the hell could they have possibly made this in 1960.
I love how the protagonist dies half-way the movie and the antagonist carries out the other half... Impressive
All things considered, that's the cleanest motel bathroom I've ever seen.
Notice how you never see the knife actually penetrate Marion's body, and the only blood you see is swirling in the water. Yet audiences of that time remembered this as one of the most brutal, goriest murder scene in the history of cinema. And it's because at this point in the film, the audience has come to appreciate Marion Crane as a real person, not just another disposable victim. By this time, we understand her motives for doing what she's done, even if we might not condone it. She's almost been caught several times, and we've felt the tension right along with her. She's finally decided to do the right thing, bring the money back and face the consequences of her actions. And then this happens. Audiences were traumatized. What they thought was a morality play turned out to be something so different that they didn't know how to react, and the only thing they could do was find out what happens next in rapt silence.
This scene took weeks to make and 70 cameras to record.
Moral of the story : Always lock the door.
If a time machine is invented, I wanna go back to 1960 to watch the audience reaction to first seeing this scene in the theatres.
0:47 truly one of the most disturbing yet best shots in a horror film ever
Fun fact: The spinning shot away from Janet Leigh’s eye was shot 26 times. In the one useable shot she took a breath and this wasn’t noticed until after production and that’s why you see it cut so quickly to the shower head and back.
I've never seen anyone so happy to take a shower...
The legend says that the shower is still on
ok but can we just appreciate how long that actress had her eyes open, 2:16- 2:46 just imagine how many staring contests she won
I think the scariest part is that she gets in the shower, BEFORE turning the water on. Who TF does that? Like WAA??
the most famous 45 seconds in cinema history
I like that her real life daughter is Jamie Lee Curtis who went in to star in her own iconic horror slasher: Halloween.
Pyscho is so genius. Hitchcock was so ahead of his time.
Truly a monumental moment of not just the Horror genre, but in cinema as a whole. Given that this was in 1960, Psycho really was ahead of everything at the time and really shocked audiences. A lot of people at the showing at the time always felt like they were watching a "real murder" on the screen which they were not used to.
