Anthony Hopkins as the cutting, caustic, corpulent creative director "Alfred Hitchcock" (1899-1980) is magnificent. He captures the man with his foibles, charms, inimitable genius, as no other actor could. For those who remember Mr. Hitchcock, Hopkins reincarnates the "Master of Suspense"... "Psycho" released in 1960, was a stunning, colossal success; stampedes of movie-goers, assaulted theatres, lusting for a taste of the "kill", an injection of "fright"; legitimatizing Hitchcock's prescience. Fifty-two years later its luster has yet to wane... THREE STARS!!! ***For full review please visit peneflix(dot)com!!!

Very well done look at the making of PYSCHO. Hopkins and Mirren are extraordinary in their respective roles, and it's fun to the see a stellar supporting cast re-create PYSCHO. The make up on Hopkins is incredible. It's worth seeing for just his transformation. My only complaint is that we didn't get to see enough re-creations. I could have sat throw another 20 minutes easily. Overall, it's a fun ride.

It's a MUST GO and See movie for the holidays. Five-and-a-half thumbs up for both Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren. Anthony Hopkins as the master of suspense - very convincing! You would really think he was Hitch himself, the way he moves and talk. Helen Mirren of course, well... it's Helen Mirren - I could watch her just to peel potatoes. Scar Jo also shines in this movie. Very well acted - the way she portrays Ms. Janet Leigh in this moviementary was exactly like it was in the original movie. There are times during the movie that you would feel they were actually filming the original Psycho. Nicely "well done". Makes you wanna see the original Psycho all over again.

Thoroughly enjoyed Hitchcock! It felt like a behind the scenes tour of Psycho. Anthony Hopkins didn't play Hitchcock - he WAS Hitchcock! Besides loving this movie, it left me with the desire to watch all of Hitch's movies again! This was a fitting tribute to a genius.

If you know anything at all about Alfred Hitchcock - you will love this film. If you know a lot about Hitchcock - you will love it even more! Anthony Hopkins is magnificent as the 'master of suspense' as well as Helen Mirren as his equally talented wife Alma Reville, who wasn't just the woman 'behind the man' but beside him. I also thought that the supporting cast hit all the right notes, especially James D'Arcy as Tony Perkins - it would be great to see him play Tony in a bio-pic!
