I've seen the original and I've seen this one and this one is better!
The acting in this is DEFINITELY a thousand times better than what is in the original!!
Oh well...!

What I'd really like to see ( since this is a shot-by-shot remake ) is an editing job that combines the original with this version. Wouldn't it be great to see Anthony Perkins awkward flirtation opposite Anne Heche ? To see Vince Vaughn ... abuse himself .... to the sight of Janet Leigh in the shower ? Any of the smaller scenes combined in such a way that character actors of the 1960's share the screen with 90's stars ?
C'mon -- one of you YouTube geniuses -- what're you waiting for ?
I didnt like it.
It was really...It just didnt need to be remade.
it was basically the same!
The dialogue, the music, the acting, the directing
and Vince Vaughn was okay.
It wasnt...too...good
I just don't get why so many people claim to hate this film, yet claim to adore the original IT IS A SHOT FOR SHOT REMAKE!
It's not like your average remake where plot points and other crucial details get changed around.
There are some very subtle differences. A couple of extra shots are added (literally, like, 2!) and the actors do deliver their lines in a slightly different way. Vince Vaughn's portrayal of Norman Bates is closer to the character of Bates in Robert Bloch's original novel than Anthony Perkins depiction was.
And Julianne Moore was supposed to be acting "lesbian." Which is just a hilarious thing to have read.
