Psycho at Cottage Road Cinema, Leeds 30 October 2024 Tickets from £7.00 — Book now

Arguably Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous exercise in suspense, film fans are more than familiar with Janet Leigh as the woman on the run, Anthony Perkins as the quintessentially creepy motel proprietor, that shower sequence, and Bernard Herrmann’s iconic score. But away from those show-stopper moments, Hitchcock’s movement of the camera is astonishing on a moment-to-moment basis. Every creeping motion is directed to manipulate the audience, engineered to build and release tension in tandem with the films famously unusual structure.

In a special Halloween twist, this Classics at the Cottage screening will be from a 35mm print — a rare treat for those of us who relish the flicker of celluloid on the silver screen.
