1998 - 104 min. - Color
Genre: Horror
Rated R
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
A remake of director Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller about a young woman, who, while on the run after stealing $40,000 from her boss, is brutally murdered in the shower of a motel she is staying in one night. As police investigate her disappearance, we learn more about the motel's psychotic owner, Norman Bates. Director Gus Van Zant's film is a shot-for-shot remake of the original.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Independent film director Gus Van Sant attempts a first in American film history: a shot-by-shot remake of the classic 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. With a few minor, modern-day changes (including filming it in color), his version is essentially the same film with a different cast and the same Bernard Hermann music. Psycho was and still is the story of Marion Crane (previously played by Janet Leigh and now by Anne Heche), an adulterous woman who steals a stack of money from her boss and hits the road hoping for financial freedom. Pulling over in an old motel for the night, she meets the creepy owner of the Bates Motel, Norman Bates (Vince Vaughn doing his best Anthony Perkins), who lives with his jealous nagging mother. Most people know the film Psycho for what happens next --- the shower scene, where Marion is brutally stabbed in the most over-analyzed scene in movie history. The money, the car, and Marion's remains are quickly sunk in a nearby swamp. As a detective (William H. Macy) and Marion's sister Lila (Julianne Moore) come looking for her, they begin to uncover the dark mysterious secret lurking in Norman Bates' life. --- Arthur Borman

One of the surest examples of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" theory, but also by no means a complete wash, Gus Van Sant's valiant attempt to recreate one of the most influential horror films of all time fails to make magic happen twice. The details are virtually intact (save for a few modern touches that don't work) and the performers are game, but the idea to colorize the events in the film give the affair a too-ordinary feel, and lacks the haunting mise-en-scene of Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 classic. Furthermore, while the cast is up for the challenge, lead Vince Vaughn is disastrously miscast as the creepy Norman Bates. He is simply too imposing and handsome to pull off such a peculiar sad sack, and the film is unconvincing as a psychological thriller almost exclusively on that basis, though truth be told, the 1960 film's absurd explanations for Bates' actions remain as silly today. Van Sant's decision to duplicate the film shot for shot is an interesting one, but also pointless, especially since if anyone could relate the film's sinister quality and sexual undertones to modern times, it would be him. A reinvention may have made more sense than a faithful remake, though the film deserves some credit for its experimentation. Alas, audiences didn't care much and the film underperformed, proving that some people like their movies to remain classics. --- Jason Clark
