The Psycho Collection Limited Edition

The Psycho Collection Limited Edition WE ALL GO A LITTLE MAD SOMETIMES…  Shattering expectations and shocking audiences around the world, Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho changed the face of cinema in 1960. It remains one of the most iconic and influential movies ever made.  Twenty three years later, Australian filmmaker Richard Franklin (Patrick, Road Games) boldly followed in the master’s footsteps and directed Psycho II, a sequel that not only delivered on the promise of his earlier films, but also lived up to Hitchcock’s original. Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is declared sane and released from the facility in which he was being held, despite the complaints of Lila Loomis (née Crane, Vera Miles) sister of Norman’s most famous victim. All Norman wants to do is live quietly and productively as a normal member of society. But is returning to the house he once shared with his mother, and running the motel that was the site of so many murders, really a good idea? Is he cured, or will he kill again?  Psycho III would see Anthony Perkins himself take the franchise’s reins for his directorial debut, bringing a stylish flair that suggested his time working with not only Alfred Hitchcock, but Orson Welles and Ken Russell had been well spent. A fallen nun (Diana Scarwid as Maureen Coyle), a sleazy drifter (Jeff Fahey as Duane Duke), and a curious reporter looking for a scoop (Roberta Maxwell as Tracy Venables) all arrive at the Bates Motel and ‘Mother’ is less than happy, especially when Norman begins to fall in love. Meanwhile, Psycho IV: The Beginning, written by Joseph Stefano (screenwriter of the 1960 original) and directed by master of horror Mick Garris, returns to the primal scene to show us how it all began in Anthony Perkins’ final franchise appearance. Rehabilitated and happily married, Norman Bates has finally escaped from the overbearing influence of his abusive mother. But his wife is pregnant, and Norman finds himself afraid that the child will inherit his mental illness. When he hears talk radio host Fran Ambrose (CCH Pounder) discussing the topic of matricide, Norman calls in under a false name, to tell his story. Starring Henry Thomas (E.T.) as young Norman and Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas) as his mother, Norma.  Presented together for the first time in the UK on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, featuring all new restorations of Psycho II, III and IV from the original camera negatives, Arrow Video invites you back inside the Bates Motel and wishes you a very pleasant stay.  4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS  4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (2160p) presentations of all four films  New 4K restorations of Psycho II, Psycho III and Psycho IV from the original camera negatives  DTS:X and mono audio options for Psycho, lossless stereo and 5.1 options for Psycho II and Psycho III, and lossless stereo audio for Psycho IV Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing  Reversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Matt Griffin  Double-sided posters for each film featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Matt Griffin  9 postcard sized reproduction art cards  120-page perfect bound collector’s book featuring new writing by film critics John-Paul Checkett and Johnny Mains plus select archival material  Disc 1 – PSYCHO (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY)  60th Anniversary edition from Universal Pictures with uncut and re-release versions of the film Audio Commentary with Stephen Rebello, author of Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho The Making of Psycho documentary  In the Master's Shadow, Hitchcock’s Legacy featurette  Hitchcock / Truffaut audio interview with scenes from the movie  Newsreel Footage: The Release of Psycho featurette  The Shower Scene: With & Without Music featurette  The Shower Sequence, storyboards by Saul Bass image gallery  Psycho Sound featurette  The Psycho Archives image gallery  Posters and Psycho Ads image gallery  Lobby Cards image gallery  Behind the Scenes Photographs image gallery  Publicity Shots image gallery  Theatrical trailer  Re-Release trailers  Disc 2 – PSYCHO II (4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY)  New audio commentary by film critics Michael Brooke and Johnny Mains  Archival audio commentary by screenwriter Tom Holland  Behind the Curtain: The Masters of Horror on Psycho, panel discussion with screenwriter Tom Holland and Psycho IV director Mick Garris moderated by Robert V.
