More About This Product

Overview

Independent film director Gus Van Sant attempts a first in American film history: a shot-by-shot remake of the classic 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. With a few minor, modern-day changes including filming it in color, his version is essentially the same film with a different cast and the same Bernard Hermann music. Psycho was and still is the story of Marion Crane previously played by Janet Leigh and now by Anne Heche, an adulterous woman who steals a stack of money from her boss and hits the road hoping for financial freedom. Pulling over in an old motel for the night, she meets the creepy owner of the Bates Motel, Norman Bates Vince Vaughn doing his best Anthony Perkins, who lives with his jealous nagging mother. Most people know the film Psycho for what happens next -- the shower scene, where Marion is brutally stabbed in the most over-analyzed scene in movie history. The money, the car, and Marion's remains are quickly sunk in a nearby swamp. As a detective William H. Macy and Marion's sister Lila Julianne Moore come looking for her, they begin to uncover the dark mysterious secret lurking in Norman Bates' life.

    A reviewer

    I thought this movie was a waste of time! The acting was horrible, and it took forever to get moving. The only thing I thought was clever was the fact that his mom was dead and that he is the psycho. I haven’t seen the original one, so that one might be better. I don’t recommend this movie to anyone, useless you want to be bored to death. There was only 10 minutes of excitement in the whole two hours of the movie. Vince Vaughn however did an ok job portraying his character, Mr. Baits. I thought the movie was very cheesy and was a waste of time. Grant it was suppose to be a replica of the original, it was still horrible. I am not recommending this movie to anyone!

    This movie was the worst movie I have seen in years. I am close to being a professional critic, and, I think this movie down-right dull. It wasn't scary at all, and I didn't like the plot. If you want to rent Psycho, please pick up the one that came out 44 years ago.

    Refreshing!

    The headline explains it! For any who have seen Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 original Psycho, they know that it is the irreplaceable blueprint horror classic. However, although this film does not even attempt to replace the original, it did something much better -- preserved it. For those living in the 21st century, this 1998 remake (shot-for-shot remake) immortalized the film with the brilliant direction of Alfred Hitchcock in 1960 and the special effects abilities of 1998. This film, as director Gus Van Sant (Psycho--1998) stated, was most directed at the young people of the 21st century who had never experienced Psycho. And how triumphantly that was accomplished! Highly recommended for every horror fan!
