A young female embezzler arrives at the Bates Motel, which has terrible secrets of its own. Although this version is in color, features a different cast, and is set in 1998, it is closer to a shot-for-shot remake than most remakes, Gus Van Sant often copying Hitchcock's camera movements and editing, and Joseph Stefano's script is mostly carried over. Bernard Herrmann's musical score is reused as well, though with a new arrangement by Danny Elfman and recorded in stereo.

If they really had to remake Psycho; then they should have just adapted the book more closely. With Norman older and Marion's head cut off in the shower. Otherwise a shot by shot remake is just a waste of our time and Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) only testing his abilities as a filmmaker. Just because Sant was nominated the previous year; I guess he thought that meant he was as good as Hitchcock. The casting is just awful. Vince Vaughn looks lost on what to do with the part of Norma. Anne Heche looks just as lost on what to do with Marion. The rest of the cast do better but are mostly mis-cast as well. Just stick with the original.

It's an interesting experiment in film, but ends up being totally pointless. It's not offensive to the legacy of the original, but it adds nothing to it. An ill advised test.

Laughable. If you're going to do a remake at least try to spice it up a bit, all we got was an extra jerking off scene and the house looks cheaper. Apart from that, this is a shot for shot copy with just everything less interesting. The shower scene was so boring. Anytime the score comes on it's just an insult to the original. Vince Vaughn and Julianne Moore are the only assets this movie has but it's not enough to justify the existence of this remake. Even judging it as a shot for shot remake, this is one of the worst i've seen. Time wasted when I could have rewatched the original instead.

Pointless remake, Vince Vaughn was a terrible choice to play Norman and he doesn't come close to Perkins' performance. The iconic shower scene felt very mediocre. I was surprised by the big names in this, and they all do quite a good job (except Vaughn obviously and Anna Heche was also not very convincing). I did like that it was set in 1998 and overall it was watchable but I don't see why anyone would watch this over the original.

Horror fans really should thank Gus Van Sant for his experimental "copy exactly" approach to re-making the horror classic Psycho. Filmmakers have learned that just modernizing the original with a bigger budget takes no creativity and falls into tedium and redundancy which most horror fan's hate. Gus More
