Psycho (1998) Empty

Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho is perhaps the greatest horror movie ever made. In 1998 Gus Van Sant decided it would be a good idea to not only remake the film, but copy nearly every shot from the original creating a shot-for-shot remake. This film is nearly identical to the first one, but it does strive to throw in some sexual content whenever possible. Overall, the plot is great but so what? Everything including the dialogue is copied from another movie.

The worst part of this film is clearly the acting. Anthony Perkins plays Norman Bates nearly perfectly. In this film the director decided to go with a comedian, Vince Vaughn to play Norman. Vaughn is beyond awful in this film. He attempts to copy the style Perkins used in Hitchcock's film, but everything about his performance is horrible. The rest of the cast is equally bad.

In short, this film proves a shot-for-shot remake is pointless. Copying a brilliant movie and making only very minor changes makes a terrible movie. If the original version of this film never existed I suppose this could go down as a decent film spoiled by horrible actors, but this film is complete garbage.
