As for the Hitchcock fans I would give this film a strong recommendation.Psycho is a 1998 American horror film produced and directed by Gus Van Sant for Universal Pictures, a remake of the 1960 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock about an embezzler who arrives at an old motel run by an insane killer named Norman Bates. This is a MUST-SEE film for fans of Vince Vaughn, one of the most talented actors of his generation. However, it is Vaughn's portrayal of Norman Bates that captures and holds the attention of movie viewers. Oh, and the other actors in the newer version are terrific as well. Again, it's difficult to adequately compare two talented actors and it probably isn't fair to do so anyway. It's not the first film where Vaughn plays a 'strange' character, but I believe it's his best.
His performance is believable and that is crucial to any remake. He also adds a nervous smile to the Bates character, making Bates come across as not only a very private person, but a man who seems to be very uncomfortable around others. Vaughn portrays Bates as a young man who is childlike, a man who is clearly socially and emotionally immature. For example, while Perkins portrays Bates as an unnerving, jittery and immensely strange individual, Vaughn's version appears to be more "creepy" as I've already mentioned. His portrayal of Bates is no doubt just as disturbing as that of Perkins, but disturbing in a different way. Underrated actor Vince Vaughn delivers what I would describe as a very CREEPY performance as the infamous 'Norman Bat es'. Personally I love the original version - a real classic but I enjoyed the remake so much that I decided to add it to my collection. If you're a Hitchcock fanatic then you more than likely would put the original "Psycho" near the top of your favorite Hitchcock film list (wouldn't you?).
That said, rather than list all of the "bad" movie remakes, I prefer to promote this surprisingly excellent version of the original "Psycho". There have been so many bad ones released either in the theatre or on television, with only a few that can actually stand up to the originals - well at least in my opinion. A remake that actually stands as tall as the originalįirst off I am not exactly what you would call a big fan of movie remakes.
