Given the choice of the two "Psychos"? Don't waste your time on this one. Get the Tony Perkins/Janet Leigh version, which is unbeatable in telling the story of Marion Crane's demise in the shower at Norman Bates' motel and the story that follows. 1 User Review

| | I suppose you could, but why would you want to? | 1fatts 03/26/2007 | I remember a long magazine article about twenty years ago which detailed how progressive parents were teaching their six-month-old babies how to swim.
The best comment on this new athletic phenomenon came from some doctor or another who said: "I suppose you could, but why would you want to?"
You don't remake a masterpiece. You especially don't film the same shooting script word for word and shot by shot. Virtually everyone in this thing suffers by comparison. The best they could have hoped for was "a worthy homage". But it wasn't. |
