Could not disagree more. The US cover makes it look like any cliche, pointless horror film that's created today. If not for the Hitchcock writing, it could easily be mistaken for the Psycho remake. The UK releases, either the steelbook black and grey or the red, is exactly what it should have been. The shower scene and the image of Leigh's face is arguably the most famous and iconic scene in film history. One could argue it's cliche, but that's a faulty argument because it's that scene that single handedly led to the prominence of the film when it was first released, as well as its lasting impact.
