Sometimes when actors give a brilliant and memorable performance it becomes their identity, the only role people can see them in. It becomes difficult for them to perform other roles because they are perpetually trapped in this iconic performance. In that regard, everyone knows Anthony Perkins as the legendary Norman Bates from Psycho. But both before and after Perkins played the lanky mama’s boy, he was appearing in other fascinating roles. One of my fave non-Norman roles is Perkins’ performance in 1989’s psycho-sexual fetish-laden flick Edge of Sanity. Though graphic and sleazy, this little film is also visually captivating and has Perkins giving a brilliant performance as he pushes decency. After both meager VHS and DVD releases, this title seems to have been forgotten by genre fans (or never was remembered to begin with) making it an excellent inclusion to The Unseen.
