Or better yet, where is that audio file? Did they lose it or something? Also, Turbine was apparently able to conform the correct mono to the "uncut" version as well, so there really should be no problem here. Obviously, everything is more challenging right now, and we should be kind. But this...

I guess I'm fairly desensitized, but I still get surprised by a rating sometimes. I thought it was interesting when the sixth Harry Potter film got a PG, despite having some of the scariest moments in the series and an overall dreary atmosphere (and after the previous two being PG-13).

They were there 60 years ago. I was there 32 years ago when Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out, yet I didn't remember Betty Boop's wardrobe malfunction, and was surprised to see how obvious it was when I saw it in another print years later. I know that's not quite the same thing, but the point is...

I wasn't there, but I'm still skeptical that what we have now as the "uncut" version is actually what played in US theaters in 1960 (though it may very well have played in other countries). The AFI link I posted a while back suggests that the three small cuts were made at the insistence of the...

This is total speculation, but Psycho got its "R" rating in 1984, the same year "PG-13" was created. Not sure which one came first in the year, but there was a lot of discussion around that time about the level of violence in "PG" films, so maybe they erred on the side of caution, so-to-speak...

Thanks; that seems to match the German dub, and it's certainly a more professional-sounding job than what's on the UHD. This is nit-picky compared to the mono track being a mixdown, but Universal's version of this scene sure is a sloppy edit.

And if the video AlexNH posted above is any indication, the remix isn't even timed right on the extended Arbogast scene. His scream comes way later than it should, and the music seems to be looped differently.

It apparently worked on the Turbine Blu-ray (though I haven't seen/heard that one). And in any case, it would have fit the regular, whatever-we're-now-calling-the-version-we've-known-for-60-years cut just fine.

Listened to it again, and the stab effects are there, but very quiet. And you don't hear Arbogast until the third stab.

I've sent a politely-worded email to Universal's customer support about the mono audio issue on Psycho: https://www.uphe.com/en/contact-support Since the audio menu specifically says "Original Audio," it might have been an honest mistake. Also, the extended Arbogast death scene seems to have...

I don't want to dispute anyone's memory, and I hate to say it, but this was 60 years ago. I know it's not quite the same thing, but I saw the "unfixed" version of Cats less than 1 year ago, and I couldn't tell you the difference between that and what's on the Blu-ray. But you might be right. It...

They might be, but what makes you think so?

Despite Universal's awkwardly-worded press release, I'm still not convinced the "uncut" version is actually what ran in theaters in 1960, at least in the US. There's conflicting information online, but this bit from the AFI suggests those three slight trims were made before the initial...

They state that, but it's absolutely not true. There were definitely some altered sound effects in that 5.1 mix, which have now carried over to the DTS X on the UHD. Marion driving through the rain, the shower scene, Lila's discovery at the end: all have noticeably different Foley effects in the...
