Psycho
Movie Information
In Brief: Just when you thought it was over, the AFS extends its grisly reach into November for one last Halloween horror film. Join us for a very special Budget Big Screen ticketed presentation of Alfred Hitchcock's perennial classic, Psycho. It's a definitive work in both Hitchcock's oeuvre and the genre as a whole, and opportunities to see it on the big screen are rare. To paraphrase Andrew Sarris, it's a film that needs to be seen at least three times; once for the sheer terror of the story, once to appreciate the black comedy underlying its conception and once more to study its hidden symbolism and visual metaphors. Whether it's your first viewing or your fiftieth, this one is not to be missed!
