I want dts HD 5.1 audio on it or I'd import the Aussie release. I'll wait and see what happens. Esp with the upcoming summer lead Universal Best Buy exclusives like The Burbs and Great Outdoors. I can see Universal doing the same for some titles in the fall.

That movie was terrible. They completely changed the motivations of Norman Bates.

Technically the story is an adult Norman recounting his childhood so it is actually a sequel, though the whole thing is a ridiculous semantics argument.

It's actually both.

I guess now I'll have to pick up 2 and 3 as well as this one.

Same. We'll be lucky to find the slipcovers though

I thought it was the sequel that was the closest to the original, it's a much better companion piece than 2 and 3. 2 was very entertaining, but it and 3 had a lot of influence from slashers, whereas 4 was a character piece.

CCH Pounder = Day One for me, always had a soft spot for this film

Yeah I know. I'll just have to check eBay for those.

Yahoo, this is my favorite of the Pyscho sequels.

Great news. I always thought this was a really good sequel/prequel. I'll definitely pick this up!!

I've long thought that Psycho IV was the second-best film in the franchise (behind the original, of course). It's always been viewed unfavorably, but lately it's fanbase has expanded a bit.

I can't wait to add it to my collection. It's such an underrated movie and Olivia Hussey is phenomenal as Mother.

IMO, they should have packaged the remake with this as a double feature. I just don't see this as a big seller by itself.

Day one for this guy right here!

This. Bundling that travesty would make me not want it.

All four Psycho films with Anthony Perkins are excellent. I do not agree with others that have said this film should have been released as a double feature with the 1998 remake. Psycho IV: The Beginning is a good enough film to warrant an individual release.

Now, a double feature of Psycho (1998) and Bates Motel (1987) would make more sense. Those are the "lesser" films.

Agreed!

..and the remake would increase sales?

[Blu-21]

Psycho 4 has a lot more credibility than 2 and 3. It's the true sequel/prequel to the classic 1960 movie.
