Psycho? Anyone know? - Blu-ray Forum

joseph_m · 08-22-2010, 08:04 AM

Does anyone know If they are gonna release Psycho in Australia? I saw some pictures of the UK release and on the disc our 'Rated M' logo was included so I'm guessing it should be coming soon?

But yeah, anyone know If it will come out this year?

Indeed. Your observation is correct. You are more than likely going to get a local release.

I have Universal's release sheets through to November... it does not appear on any of them, but the DVD 50th Anniversary does... so not sure what is happening with this....

I'm hoping we get Psycho on Blu-ray sometime soon too!

I have the UK release, just import it. It'll be cheaper then waiting to buy a domestic release anyway.

I am probably in the minority, but i think the 98 remake was a better experience than the Hitchcock film. I am waiting for that version to be given the Blu-Ray treatment. I feel that Vince Vaughn gives a much creepier performance than Anthony Perkins. My two cents.
Cheers,

No offence, but I suddenly want to slap you. Really hard.

A tutor of mine back in 04 did the sound for that film (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935984/) he said his kid actually did the classic 'knife in shower' music with one of his toys..

podvrh · 08-30-2010, 04:26 PM

The Perth City store of JB HI-FI has this release on the shelf for A$19.98!
Will get my copy tomorrow.

Anamnesis · 08-31-2010, 12:46 AM

And here it is...

joseph_m · 08-31-2010, 01:42 AM

Woah! So I thought they were just selling a UK import but it looks like it's an Australian release? Is it a JB Hi-Fi exclusive or something? Because it's weird that its not on any websites.

Will definitely go pick up my copy this weekend along with Billy Madison! Haha

Thanks for the photo

Well it isn't even on JB's website, I have checked Universal's B2B site and it still isn't on there either...so I have no idea...but don't look a gift horse in the mouth

It is a slipcase with normal amaray underneath and booklet FYI

LeighF · 08-31-2010, 05:33 AM

Bought a copy today... along with Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison.

Theres quite a few special features on the release of Psycho.

LeighF · 08-31-2010, 08:04 AM

As i said, i am in the minority, but my best mate who is a complete and astute cinephile agrees with me that the remake is the superior film. Vaughn and Heche are far more realistic in the remake. I know it's considered sacrelige to say you like the remake better than an original that is considered a classic. I just got more out of it than i did the original.
Cheers,
Carcuss

LeighF · 08-31-2010, 08:28 AM

Remaking a classic would be like if they were to re-paint the Mona Lisa or The Last Supper.
