Criminal on the run, Marion Crane (Anne Heche) takes refuge at the motel operated by Norman Bates (Vince Vaughn) - a troubled man whose victims encounter a grisly fate at the hands of his "mother." Marion soon becomes the next victim and her disappearance prompts inquiries from her sister (Julianne Moore) and a private investigator (William H. Macy). They both soon discover the morbid bond linking Norman to his mysterious "mother" at the Bates Motel. Relive the terror in acclaimed director Gus Van Sant's all new version of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece of suspense… Psycho.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It remains the most structurally elegant and sneakily playful of thrillers!
Rotten: Contains nothing to outrage or offend partisans of the original, yet neither does it stand to add much to their appreciation.
Rotten: The movie lacks the chutzpah to even be a travesty.
Rotten: The 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.
Customer Reviews
NO.
Everyone- see the Hitchcock original. It's much better. This still wouldn't have been a good movie even if it wasn't a remake of a classic and didn't have such big shoes to fill.
No Thanks!
Watch the original!
Good, but not
Psycho 1960 is better than this one, everybody prefers a the better & a Hitchcock film. So just rent this, buy or watch the original instead!!
