Psycho, a 1960 suspense/horror film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, tells the story of Marion Crane, a secretary who embezzles money and ends up at a secluded motel run by its disturbed owner-manager Norman Bates. The movie, based on Robert Bloch's 1959 novel, was initially met with mixed reviews but garnered critical acclaim and four Academy Award nominations. It is now considered one of Hitchcock's best films, praised for its cinematic artistry and groundbreaking portrayal of violence, deviance, and sexuality in American cinema. After Hitchcock's death, Universal Studios produced several follow-ups including sequels, remakes, and TV series adaptations. In 1992, the film was selected for preservation by the US Library of Congress.
