Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, 78/52 is a documentary about the famous shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960), which contains the screen murder that profoundly changed the course of world cinema.
Alan Barnette, Justin Benson, Peter Bogdanovich and Jamie Leigh Curtis are among those featured.
I’m a Hitchcock fan, and my favourite of his movies that I’ve seen are Rear Window (1954), and Psycho isn’t far behind.
Watching 78/52 should be interesting for more reasons than the fact that it’ll remind me of having seen and enjoyed Psycho, while in a classroom years earlier.
78/52 Release Dates: October 13th, 2017 (US)…
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
You watched Psycho in a classroom? Your schooling was a lot more fun than mine! This documentary should be fun 🙂
I sure did. It was part of my Media Studies course. I also watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream and Candyman in a classroom. The Shining could have been on that list but even my teacher at the time found it too scary to revisit. 😀
Wow, I’m jealous. Although I don’t think The Shining is so much scary in the regular sense, but rather it is deeply disturbing on a subconscious level. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is worse visually!
I’m not sure that I’ve watched a movie – scary or otherwise that’s ‘deeply disturbing on a subconscious level’ before. 😳 I guess I’ll save that for the brightest of bright sunny days and very early in the morning, one day. 😊
The daylight won’t matter as much. A film like The Shining is not that scary initially. It’s when you find yourself thinking about it and feeling it months later you realize you’re doomed!
😄… ‘Doomed’ you say? That sort of, kind of feels like a challenge. But only ‘sort of’ and ‘kind of,’ which means I’m going to choose to ignore it. 😳😄
Speaking of subconscious disturbance… The Ring?
You see, I’ve never seen The Ring. 😊
That’s why you can still smile 😉 It is probably the worst, most effective horror film I’ve ever seen
Wow! I will not take your words lightly. Maybe in a few years I may give The Ring a go. Maybe… 😌
I don’t know why it struck me so hard, but it scarred me for life. Perhaps you’re made of more durable spirit 🙂
Hopefully not too deep a scar, I hope. The cheeky side of my brain that’s always looking to be amused is wanting to say, ‘Just walk it off, Steve.Take a long brisk walk and all will be well’ 😌
Eventually 😉
