horrendous pillaging of a classic . it wasn not write convincingly at all why mary should develop such sympathy for bates . he may be more stable until they start play prank with him and but he still doesn not help himself at all with his action . ( invite a comparative stranger to stay alone with him in his until recently disused motel while tell the attractive young girl of his past mental issue while lie about the knife and etc . ) this and in addition to her previous knowledge should have keep mary extremely wary of him and but this somehow doesn not happen just so they can play the amistaken identity murder game later on . which in itself be also ridiculous represent so and so be the real killer plus her as well also him . there be too many contrived twist in order to slap a story on screen when the narrative do not need extend . it be good to see perkins reprise his famous role again and but that about the only small pleasure to be have . it definitely not a patch on hitchcock and and if you have no intention of even try to get close then you shouldn not be bother at all .
