Prob one of the best behind the scenes docs on a film which had no business being made - this provides a lot of insight. The end result doesn't work but it's also still worth watching.

Danny Elfman's contribution is probably the only one that came out unscathed.

In a day and age now where companies like Disney are remaking their own work, the Psycho remake doesn't look so bad. I always enjoyed it for what it was.

I actually just watched it recently and was fairly intrigued by it. Of course it's not a must see masterpiece of Cinema but it is a unique one of a kind film experiment. Maybe it's only appealing to cinephiles or other filmmakers, but the stagey choreographed rhythm it has kind of lends to it's charm. I think the immediate dissmisal & predictably dull criticism of "it sucks" or "unnecessary, why?" is just something popular to say. I wonder how many people who say this actually watched Gus Van Sant's film or approached it with an unbiased & interested mind.

While Disney is just cashing on their childhood favorites, this one at least feels more like something meant to fulfill a genuine curiosity, like to answer what would a classic movie look like if it was filmed today. I can't think of too many people who watched the original Psycho over and over when they were kids.

This provides a lot of insight over exactly why this movie misses the mark so extravagantly. Even in these interviews, it looks like nobody had any clear direction as to what they were supposed to be doing, or even what the vision was in the first place. And the people who seemed to have a direction were visibly dissatisfied with it. 20:31 is such a good example.

I noticed that too. Usually in these making-of interviews you hear the directors and the actors being respectful when they are talking about a source material, but lots of these guys talk about Hitchcock like some indie director that made this average movie "Psycho" and they came here to improve it. It's like a bunch of 18 years old trying to make their first big movie.

The remake isn't as bad as it's supposed to be, but time had marched on since 1960. Marion and Sam WOULDN'T have been meeting in cheap hotel rooms in 1998...by then no one cared what two mature adults did in or out of marriage.

I wasn't really much for the remake but they honestly could remake psycho again because the book is actually way different than the movie. If you read the book psycho it's actually really more of a violent book than it was a movie. With the character Marion getting beheaded in the shower so I think if they would remake it but make it more true to the book it would be a good remake.

The black and white photography of Hitchcock's original serves to increase the suspense. Colorization would ruin the film for me.

I just seen the 1998 remake for the first time last week and I liked it. I know most people said it sucked, but to me it wasnt that bad. I didnt care much for vince vaughn as norman bates though. He came off kinda goofy and he wasnt scary whatsoever. The secretary's acting is pretty bad too. Its nowhere near as good as the original but I'm glad they made this remake. I'll watch it again when I'm doing my psycho movie marathons. I'm glad I bought this on dvd.

If someone wants to do something then they should do it and not worry about what people say about it. 23 year have passed since this remake. There'll probably be someone who wants to remake the remake but do it in black and white.

I don’t know why they try to recycle movies. The original Psycho was the best. I don’t think anything could ever top it.

I'ts difficult to get young audiences to watch old classics like Maltese Falcon, Sunset Blvd, Casablanca or even Chinatown so remaking old classics in a modern format with hi-def audio and cameras, modern actors and crews and remaining faithful to the spirit of the original is worthwhile to keep the craft of film making alive.

The late Anne Heche resembled Sandy Duncan.

Oh, and Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortenson, I mean just the right amount of savvy and classic intrigue that comes from watching attractive people. If we did not have these risk takers, we could not have further visions like Psycho II, III, VI, and...Bates Motel, awesome visions, love it. Psychomania😻

Why change the house? And Vince Vaughn made Norman Bates look like a creepy sexual predator specially with the masturbation scene.

1:22-1:28. Boy, that aged real well

The Bates Mansion in the remake was not from Mississippi, the Plantation House was in the deep swamps of southeast Louisiana loacted in Braithwaite. It was called The Orange Grove Plantation.. Built in 1850 by a man named Thomas Ashton Morgan. the house burned down in 1982. the people of Louisiana may have torn the old house down

After Good Will Hunting, Van Sant had carte blanche to do whatever film we wanted, and he chose this. Legend.

RIP Anne Heche

I have every respect for the actors who all gave good performances, however, for all the attempts, by Gus Van Sant, to dress this remake up as valid “artistic” endeavour in this documentary, history has shown that it was as much of a failure as all the sceptics predicted it would be. The, fatuous, argument that contemporary cinema audiences don’t know the original just highlight that the original could be successfully revived. 26 years after this remake reaction videos online demonstrate just how powerful Hitchcock’s 64 year old film remains. The 1983 and 86 Anthony Perkins sequels, Psycho II & Psycho III, are certainly not as good as the original but at least tried to add some intrigue and development of Norman’s story, the 1998 remake only takes away from the original and adds nothing.

The remake didn't lose money, and gave a lot of people work - so, fine. It was an experiment. They weren't saying every film should be made this way.

Sure it's a shot by shot with a little tech updates and Viggo Mortensen's butt (nice addition) I wouldn't have mind seeing John Gavin's in the same scene in the original if I do say so myself, would have been quite nice personally and considering how controversial it was gonna be I don't know why they didn't go ahead and throw that in too...LMAO. Do I like this version? Well, it's ok, no big deal, can't say I hate it as doing so would be kind of silly since it's near a shot for shot of the OG..lol Just get over it, let the mob run themselves ragged and make up your own mind in peace.

Some of the content was a little more edgy with this updated Psycho, but honestly, what a wonderful cast. I mean Anthony Perkins created that combination of innocence and malevolence so perfectly, and Janet Leigh brought that beauty and empathy. Well Vince Vaughn...who knew, and Ann Hech, my God, she was such an interesting and wonderful actress, I miss her. But William Macy, awesome, he was Abagast. I loved this movie. And, as much as I don't really like remakes, sometimes they have to be done, and I don't always like the changes, but sometimes, they just make sense, like when they remade A Star Is Born.

Stupid move -- and the box office bomb it became proved it. They lost over 30 million on it. If you're going to do a remake, say something new.

Anne Heche going "I've never even seen 'Psycho', I just wanted to work with Gus..." I don't believe her for a minute. If that is actually true then she has no business being an actress if she is ignorant to one of the best films ever made. Her dismissal at the films existence and significance is disrespectful to say the least so it was fitting that this pitiful remake she contributed too, was the colossal failure, critical disaster and financial flop it was.... Oh, how we laughed when those scathing, vitriolic reviews poured in, especially those that highlighted her totally bland and featureless performance.... I'm sure she consoled herself and hid from the criticism by hiding inbetween the fish odoured flaps of Ellen DeGeneres or whatever grotesque lesbo she was licking out at the time.

She won an Emmy before she even got to Hollywood and also was later nominated for two Tony Awards.
