The epitomy of normal family man going crazy and attacking his family. If that is what you like then you'll love this, there's an old woman in the bath, a random tricycle in the corridors and much more to make you question your own sanity. Make sure that bathroom door is well insured before buying!

A must have for every human.

The olds will already know just how good this classic is, but for the new generation, do not write it off because of it's age. If you like films such as Donnie Darko and Pan's Labyrinth, and basically anything that has some intelligence, mystery and is not partically a mainstream film then take note, this one broke into the mainstream and smashed it good and proper. Creating a new generation of pcyho axe murders in it's wake.

Re-rated based on Ciao's insistence that such reviews are no longer considered "Off Topic"

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

Hiya! Welcome to Ciao! This review needs a lot more info to get the higher ratings, but definately a good start! Have a read of some other movie/dvd reviews to get an idea of whats needed and if you decide to edit, drop a note in my guestbook and I will happily come and re-rate!
