Psycho: 50th Anniversary Edition
(Universal, $27)
Psycho remains “one of the most influential horror movies ever made,” said The Washington Post. The suspense of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 masterpiece is intensified by Blu-ray while Bernard Herrmann’s “nerve-jangling” score is even creepier remastered for six-channel surround sound. Extras include a “wonderfully informative” making-of featurette.
