Following his great success with "North by Northwest," director Alfred Hitchcock makes a daring choice for his next project: an adaptation of Robert Bloch's novel "Psycho." When the studio refuses to back the picture, Hitchcock decides to pay for it himself in exchange for a percentage of the profits. His wife, Alma Reville, has serious reservations about the film but supports him nonetheless. Still, the production strains the couple's marriage.

This was actually a super fun watch surprisingly. I NEED to watch more Anthony Hopkins and Alfred Hitchcock films. I feel if I revisit this project, it would be cool to rewatch psycho then rewatch this.

It was ok ruined by the Ed Gein scenes which ruin the pacing and feel of the movie.
