Hitchcock films often invite you to dig beneath the surface, and that’s exactly what the new box set The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection requires you to do – to see that there is an uncut version of Psycho hidden within its array of special features. The four-film set released by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment features new 4K editions of Rear Window, Vertigo, Psycho, and The Birds, but most importantly, contains “hours of bonus features as well as the original uncut version of Psycho for the first time ever.”
Rumors of the “uncut” Psycho began with the German television print of Psycho, which had a few noticeable differences from the 2010 Blu-ray release of Psycho. There had been no official confirmation of this uncut version until now, but a few videos like the one below point out the small scenes and differences that appear to come from the original uncut version.
The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection will be available on September 8, 2020. The full breakdown of special features and the cover art for the 4K + Blu-ray + Digital release is below.Rear Window special features:
