PatrickJul 23, 20055Just, see the original. It's better. Marion was weird in this one, and it just seemed duller. Maybe, knowing this is a preserved classic makes the original a whole lot better.

May 14, 20120Frankly, this experimented shot-for-shot remake is just an insult to the timeless, classic 1960 original version of "Psycho".

Mar 4, 20121Roger Ebert said it perfectly. When your shot-for-shot remake turns out to have zero of the intensity of the original, it serves as excellent proof that **** sense of timing and atmosphere simply cannot be duplicated. Totally pointless and completely forgettable. Watch the original.

38The movie is an invaluable experiment in the theory of cinema, because it demonstrates that a shot-by-shot remake is pointless; genius apparently resides between or beneath the shots, or in chemistry that cannot be timed or counted.

50The movie doesn't stink. The performances are good, potentially great, especially Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates.

50In the shock department, the ante has been upped, way up, and a mere kitchen knife through a shower curtain just doesn't cut it any more.
