Psycho is a 1960 American psychological horror thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, widely considered one of the most important and influential films in cinema history. The film follows Marion Crane, played by Janet Leigh, a Phoenix secretary who impulsively steals $40,000 from her employer and flees, stopping for the night at the remote Bates Motel, run by the seemingly shy, mother-dominated Norman Bates, played by Anthony Perkins. What happens at the Bates Motel would become one of cinema's most shocking and frequently analyzed sequences.

Psycho broke virtually every filmmaking convention of its era — Hitchcock killed his apparent protagonist less than halfway through the film, featured the first American film to show a toilet flushing on screen, and depicted violence with an intensity that was unprecedented in mainstream cinema. The shower scene, featuring 78 camera setups and 52 cuts in 45 seconds, edited to Bernard Herrmann's shrieking string score, is the single most studied and deconstructed sequence in film history. Anthony Perkins's portrayal of Norman Bates — polite, sympathetic, and deeply disturbed — created the template for the modern movie psychopath and earned him permanent association with the character.

Hitchcock marketed the film with unprecedented showmanship, forbidding theaters from admitting latecomers and swearing audiences to secrecy about the ending. Psycho earned $50 million on an $806,000 budget, making it the most profitable film of Hitchcock's career. The film fundamentally changed horror cinema, audience expectations, and the relationship between filmmakers and audiences regarding spoilers and narrative surprise.
