Editor's Notes

Note

S-Tier Universal 4K. Hitchcock's black-and-white photography has more detail at this resolution than the Blu-ray ever delivered, and the shower scene has never had this much information in it, for better or worse. The Bernard Herrmann score in lossless is half the reason the film still works as well as it does. Considered required viewing in any best-horror-discs discussion.
