"Psycho" (Gus Van Sant remnake)

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

The director changed very little of this Hitchcock masterpiece and although most would say "Why bother?" he does achieve a weird kind of cloning, allowing you to see how a different director and actors will approach a work of long time familiarity. I have been of two minds on this one ever since I saw it in the theater in 1998. While it doesn't measure up to the original (what could?) it does expand our appreciation of that original.
