However, Psycho eventually received outstanding box office returns and overwhelming feedback along with four Academy Award nominations including Best Supporting Actress for Leigh and Best Director for Hitchcock.
Now considered one of Hitchcock's best films, Physco involves scenes of violence, unusual behaviour and sexuality.
