BLU-RAY DEBUT
Where to begin with , the film which invented modern horror? There’s the audaciousness of killing off apparent protagonist Marion Crane 47 minutes in; Bernard Herrmann’s violin-stab strings; Alfred Hitchcock’s mastery of montage; twist. But what really makes it work is Norman Bates: a middle-aged de Sade fan in Robert Bloch’s novel; a sympathetic boy-next-door type in the hands of Anthony Perkins.
