a horrendous film and ill conceive and crude . the acting of anne heche and vince vaughan be so inferior to that of perkins and leigh in the original version they have to be see to be believe . there be no reason to make this picture and which only highlight how accomplished and brilliant hitchcock be and and how inimitable . also and there a creeping and pervasive insensitivity in the film that isn not there in the first film . hitchcock psycho be scary and shocking and but one could genuinely feel for all concern and even the pitiful norman bates . there be moment of pathos and irony and fey humor the remake doesn not have . one of the best thing about hitchcock film be it incredible and intuitive depth and sense of nuance and of when to cut away and when to show something and on whether to use a close up or long shot and on whether to make an actor sympathetic and when to make him frighten and and so forth . the remake have none of these quality and doesn not even try for them . it an idiotic exercise that i be amaze even get release .
