Celia Imrie takes a journey in the Â鶹Éç’s archives to tell the story of one of the most acclaimed films of all time, Alfred Hitchcock’s groundbreaking 1960 horror, Psycho, considered cinema’s first ‘slasher flick’ and also a masterpiece.

Using interviews gathered from over the years with cast members Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins, as well as the master manipulator Hitchcock himself, Celia Imrie pieces together the story of Psycho’s origins, the pioneering ways in which it was made, how it was received at the time by terrified audiences - and how perhaps the most famous scene in movie history was not showered with praise by the film critics of the day.
