I just saw this film and found it quite good.
Anyone else who enjoyed this?

It just looks and feels all wrong.
The Elfman/Bartek re-recording is fantastic though.

I haven't seen this one. However, as I love Hitchcock's original film, and as I have now read a few positive comments about the remake, I shall place the title on my Netflix queue.
I'll get back to you.

The question is if what it set out to do was anything more than a personal experiment for van Sant.
Years later, Gus van Sant said in an interview that his whole reasoning for doing it was basically to show that even if you copy something shot-for-shot, it's still no guarantee it will be as a good as the original.
Wow that makes me hate it even more than I already do.

All these years later I'm left with the same basic question as always.
What's with the cow?

Whats weird is, with the exception of William H. Macy, every one just feels miscast.

Wretched movie, you can't complete or even attempt to go up against one of the greatest films ever, the fact that everyone already has the original so much in their brain, you were already going to fail before you started.
They did try hard and for that I commend them.
As well Elfman's contribution was great!! Loved the end credits little didy they did as well as the beginning before the main cue, if I remember correct there was a little pre-mail title bit.

I finished working at a place i handed my notice in and decided to go to the coast.
I went out for the evening, ate some food that didnt agree with me, this remake was the only thing at the cinema that was even worth giving a try, - half hour in the only 4 other people in the auditorium walked out. Leaving me to suffer on my own. I think i lasted till about 30 minutes before the end but it was a miserable film and horrible evening.
To top it all the hotel bed was the lumpiest ive ever slept in and i was awake at 6 and decided to drive home.
The only people i could recommend watch this film would be someone i really hate.

Without a doubt the most pointless movie ever made.
Remaking a movie is a perfectly valid idea. But why remake a classic -- and why use the exact same shooting script, dialog, camera moves, shot timings and score? What's the point?
And saddest of all, despite slavishly recreating Psycho in every detail, the remake is bereft of any of the suspense or dramatic tension in Hitchcock's original.
For me the only positive aspect of this film was that it showed the timelessness of Hitchcock and his team's original work. For the remake never once felt like "and old movie". Nearly 30 years later there was nothing at all dated about the way it was written, shot, scored, etc. But other than that, the remake was a waste of time, and is best forgotten (which it pretty much has been anyway).
