To make awful remakes from great originals is blasphemy!!!

Rating: Null/10 (10 September 2001)

Along with George A. Romero´s "Night of the living Dead" "Psycho" is the most genre-defining film of modern horror. The "shower scene" is legendary and mastermind Alfred Hitchcock has done absolutely great work with using an expressionst style in making this movie. Main actor Anthony Perkins is giving an unforgettable over the top-performance! His role was so perfectly convincing that he was branded with the Norman Bates-image for his life time...
Recently I wrote a review about Robert Wise´s all-time classic "The haunting" and compared it to Jan de Bont´s terrible remake... Now, "Psycho" is a similar case: the suspense has gone, the creepy atmosphere is totally missing and Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates is one of the greatest miscasts in the history of cinema!!!
I always thought that the disgrace of monuments is punishable...
