This is one of many film essays from my old blog. It was originally published in August of 2010. It breaks down key plot points from Hitchcock's classic (particularly the "Check-in" and "Shower" scenes) and explores Hitchcock's thematics and his 1960 promotion of the film. Writing comes easiest when the subject is something you're passionate about, and my love of Psycho made this a pleasure to write. It should be noted that if you've somehow managed to avoid ever seeing the film, the following essay gives up all the secrets and is essentially one big spoiler. ~WN
