  • the innocence that was in Antony Perkins is missing in Vaugh,that was the main problem,also many other things.

  • 0:37 Rob Zombie

  • 2 people from Jurasasic Park lost world lo;

  • Anyone see Vince in "Domestic Disturbance"? I saw it and he played a psycho in that one.

  • Love Vince Vaughn but not as Norman Bates LMAO. Not even dissing them for making the remake, just shouldn't have used Vaughn.

  • Oh.. the original movie from Alfred Hitchcock is so much better..

  • Anthony Perkins played Norman Bates the best

  • The 1st is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!

  • I saw this version when I was about 12 or 13 also. Its decent for a remake. But only a few remakes do well anyhow.

  • mmm if this movie is shot the same exact way as the original then what makes it so bad? is it vince vaughn? cause i saw this way before wedding crashers. i was maybe 13 or 12 around that age.

  • This is a decent remake, but people just like to say that it isn't to be cool and hip, so they it isn't as good as the original. Even if they haven't seen any version.

  • @MrSuckMyVajayjay

    No point in fucking complaining. This version came out in 1998, so why don't you just calm down.

  • This was the worst remake I`d seen. Hitchcock and Anthony Perkins himself would have been so disapointed. Vince Vaughn looked nothing like Anthony and he sure didn`t act right. The Norman we know and love never jacked off to Marion in the original when he was spying on her. That was what really surpised me. That they made him so male in that scene. Also what is the purpose of remaking something if it`s word for word and scene for scene. No creative takes on it what so ever.

  • @Movie92Fanatic

    Except for the masturbating which you just fucking described. Read your own comment, man.

  • 3...2...1... DODGEBALL!!

  • After seeing the remake, I couldn't help but to praise Hitchcock's genius decision to shoot the original in black and white. He was very right about the red blood in the bath being to gruesome. Psycho was a well developed film and remains one of my favorites.

    Can't say too much about the remake. No offense.

  • It wasn't that bad. It was a remake. It's supposed to be a remade version of Psycho. Jesus fucking christ. =.=

  • This remake was godawful! Also, they gave away the twist in the trailer!

  • honestly, i think the Psycho remake was the all time worst remake ever, mainly because it LITERALLY recreated every shot from the movie. now to be fair that is very impressive for the director to recreate every angle, but at the same time it makes you ask, "Why not try something new"? also, Vince Haughn as Norman Bates = FAIL!!!!!

  • how dare they remake hitchcocks masterpiece. if he was still alive in 1998, he would have killed those morons himself

  • I really love this trailer, i mean, not only because is Rob Zombie at 00:37 on it, this trailer have something that makes it awesome

  • I can't take vince vaughn seriously enough to play Norman Bates. All I think about is wedding crashers. Maybe he motor-boated Marion Crane to death. Remakes are always the worst.

  • @goalie9579 scarface was a remake... so was the thing (1982) .

  • @maudier Ok you have your point with Scarface, but seriously the Thing yeah they made a 2011 remake...Have you seen it? Cause that shit sucked

  • @goalie9579 yeah but the thing 1982 is a remake of the thing from another world thats what im getting at but your right the 2011 the thing was pretty poopy

  • @goalie9579 Wth you obviously didn't see The Thing 2011. It wasn't even a remake!

  • @goalie9579 Well this was before Wedding Crashers. I think he played a pretty convincing psycho. My only regret for the remake was they didn't try anything new. They just shot for shot remade it.

  • @goalie9579

    it also has 2 people from jurassic park lost world! julaine moore and vince

  • I thought this was a good movie I think you people are just so picky and spoiled nothing is ever good enough to please you people...I liked it end of story...

  • This film's okay, the story is similar to that of the original movie, but the SERIOUSLY messed up on Norman Bates, if you ask me.

  • The original was good. Excellent! Why the fuck did someone had to do a remake?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • what the fuckkkk, nooooooooooo! i wish i could go back in time and stop this damn remake from ever being made.

  • What a rip off from the original...!

  • What do you mean "A New Film..."?! This is an EXACT COPY of the original! Except that its bad!

  • my mother showed it to me while I was 11 and I did not understand completely which is a good thing. THANK THE LORD. Oh mother, I WAS 11. what was she thinking?

  • The Remake is bad.

    I would like it if there was a different Norman Bates Actor and no masturbation!

  • @TheAleX1995X

    Do you think Rob Zombie's Halloween was better than this mess?

  • @Johnlindsey289 yes, it was :D

  • I saw rob zombie! 0:37, 

  • This movie failed HARD because of this trailer. Who's the genius who decided to tell the world that something is wrong with Norman Bates? Way to go idiots.

  • Lmao, no that is NOT the face of Norman Bates.

  • original is a masterpiece but i have way more fun watching the remake and it being a shot for shot remake makes it way more entertaining, it feels way more realistic with the modern day actors taking that dated dialog and delivering proformance, god awful it they made the move in a different way then the original thats really hard to pull off and it works, other films try to be shot for shot remakes and end up as pieces of shit. and really watch vince is creepy he's different but still good

  • @POOLBOYROCKSTAR I agree completely!!

  • @Cance251

    What do you think of The Thing and The Fly remake?

  • Van Sant paved the way for all the shitty remakes that are been produced to this day. For that, he deserves to burn in Hell.

  • Loved seeing the original script and filming used with todays acting. A fantastic experiment. Vince Vaughn was brilliant.

  • @ilreput1

    Are you off your nut? Rob Zombie's Halloween was better than this

  • @Johnlindsey289 No. I'm not off my nut, I just liked seeing what happens when you use an old shooting script with todays actors. I didn't comment on whether it was better than anything, just that the experiment was fantastic. I'm not promoting remakes or the destruction of the original, just stating that I personally enjoyed Gus Van Sant's refilming project.

  • @ilreput1

    But i think it's a mistake to use an outdated script when the film was suppose to be set in 1998 as some of the dialogue and situations feel ridiculous such as the situation between Marion and Sam talking about not being married due to no paying alimoney, sooo STUPID and outdated as it was feasable in 1960 but in 1998. People don't talk like that anymore, they should have updated the situations and modernized them. What do you think of Zombie's Halloween? did something different

  • @Johnlindsey289 Yes it is a mistake. By trialing this idea of using an old script, it was a fun experiment and I enjoyed the performances, but I'm aware of the hokiness of the times and their irrelevence today, and so more complete refilmings haven't occured. I'm not into remakes, but this version of Psycho was more akin to colorization and interesting from that viewpoint - as a film experiment. Can't think of a re-imagining I enjoyed more than the original other than The Thing.

  • The thing a lot of people don't realize about Vince Vaughn was that he WAS a serious actor back in the mid-90s. Just watch Clay Pigeons or parts of Swingers. However, disregarding that, this movie is STILL a terrible concept.

    Look at this trailer, you can just tell Universal was trying to make it seem like it was trying to be an edgier remake. All those rapid cutting techniques, the stock footage, the attention to the more sensual scenes? Come on.

    Gus, ya tried, but you failed pretty hard.

  • I think the movie could have won more people over if they had a better guy to play Norman. I mean, Norman Bates IS the movie and Vince Vaughn just did not deliver.

  • I prefer the 1960 version of this movie.

  • I think Vince Vaughn was really good in this movie. Shows that he's not a 'comedy actor' he's an actor, he can handle more than one genre.

  • Lmao at all of the 16 year olds commenting "omg vince vaughn is a comedy actor fail"...

    During this time he was more than a comedy guy, in fact, he was a very promising actor.

  • Nostalgia Critic has to review this Psycho remake.

  • Vince Vaughn is a comedian!!!!! Big Fail

  • Now i havent seen this but i believe people need to lighten up. This movie was made as an experiment and the director was just having fun making, probably, one of his favorite movies. As far as Vince Vaughn goes (again i havent seen the remake), i'm sure he did a fine job; we're just used to seeing him in comedies. Him playing a villain in a horror movie just throws people off. Musicians cover classic songs all the time, why are classic movie covers always so hated.

    Just be open minded

  • @ienjoymusic27

    But the dialouge and situations are outdated and stupid for a movie that was suppose to be in 1998 when the stuff has not been updated. In 1960, it was feasable that a proper young woman would not bring a man to a home she shares with her conservative sister so a hotel is their only choice, do they need to "Sneek" during their lunch hour in this time? Sam can't marry marion because he's paying alimony, outdated and STUPID, they should have updated the stuff to fit a modern era

  • The mind of Norman bates is rob zombie? 0:36

  • LOOKS LIKE SHIT!

  • Totally unnecessary & bad remake! BOMB!!!

  • @THX1205

    Would you say the same for Halloween?

  • @Johnlindsey289 NO, it's better.

  • @THX1205

    Do you think The Thing and The Fly were better remakes than this slop?

  • @Johnlindsey289 Yes, better than this bomb!

  • The original was better...Anthony Hopkins didn't look like a murderer, Vince Vaughn always gave me the creeps in this movie...maybe it was that I knew who he was playing!

  • @winfan1978 I really hope you mean Anthony Perkins!

  • At 1:20 when he says "Mother! Oh, God! MOTHER!" That should have been used in the film.

  • vince vaughn???

  • The trailer for the original 1960 version is WAY better.

  • This trailer was done all wrong. why the fuck would they make it obvious that norman has a problem? WHY??? that was the twist....what a fail. and it gives away too much.

  • The casting was aLL wrong in this...but for Macy in Balsam's part! Moore had waaay too much attitude; Henry Thomas, {who'd already played THE PERfect younger Norman years earlier in Psycho IV}, should've gotten the part, instead of soggy Vaughn.. And then there's-- Well, suffice it to say, couldn't they've found ANYboddy closer to sparkling blue-eyed, poised and pretty little Leigh to play her part than HECHE, FCOL?? Reckless remake! BIG "WHYYY?!!"

  • Loving the big debate guys! Never thought this video would get 57,537 views!

  • Vince Vaughn's version of Norman Bates is great. But Anthony Perkins' version is nicer

  • i think vince has his own style, tony perkins is more of a typical psycho, vince is more lively and make it seems more likely to happen

  • the original was better by far

  • hmmm.. ive seen all your comments..

    i get it but i think vine vaughn didnt do such a crappy job..

    hes quite good compared to the actors in scary movies today..

  • vince vaughn?...were they high, i mean i like vince vaughn but as norman bates, now thats just fucking stupid

  • @crashvoorhees7 At this time Vince Vaughn was a promising actor not some romcom regular.

  • @SoooBlue ok but its still weird

  • Yeah this was a terrible remake, if you can call it that - shot for shot. Watch the original masterpiece.

  • I hate that I saw this verison before seeing the original... it ruined it for me.

  • This could pass off as a comedy.

  • The OG is better

  • HORRIBE MOVIE

  • This my some up of every Vice vaughn film "I'm incapable of loving another person. Oh wait no I'm not" Stewie FTW

  • This movie sucked who dared to direct.........Gus Van Sant?! The man who directed Oscar Winners like Finding Forester and Milk? He directed this?!

  • @TheWarlord900 I honestly think he was probably just having a larf.

  • i have to admit even though i haven't seen either of these two films. i thought anthony perkins was a good norman bates. but when i just look at vince vaughn just staring blankly like that. i'm kinda more interested

  • Okay, I didn't even like the original Psycho, I'm one of those kids these days that can't appreciate old movies. But at least Anthony was fucking hot.

    ...BUT VINCE VAUGHN??? REALLY??????? also can you even take that dude seriously....

  • Vince Vaughn is hot in this movie tho I rather watch the original!

  • What a f*cking lame remake! -.-''

  • HAHAHAHA WHO IN THEIR FUCKING RIGHT MIND WOULD ACTUALLY THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CAST VINCE VAUGHAN AS ONE OF THE GREAT VILLAINS OF ALL TIME?!?!!?

  • " A New Film Directed By Gus Van Sant"? No No, How About: "An Old Movie That's Already Been Made Directed By Gus Van Sant"

  • Vince Vaughn does a better Norman Bates like Anthony Perkins. I like both the original and the remake. They both win

  • @MultiJames95 correction.. EPIC WIN

  • @CTronicz Thanks

  • @MultiJames95 No no no no. You are dead wrong.

  • @risambu Vaughn's version of Norman Bates is more faithful to the novel than of the 1960 version. In the novel, Norman Bates is described as looking like an overweight and in the 1960 film, he is stout. Here, Vince Vaughn looks like an overweight so it was more subtle to the novel.

  • @MultiJames95 Anthony Perkins' Norman Bates is better than the one in the novel. I've read it, and Hitch's decision to get Anthony Perkins, change Bates' personality, not make him an alcoholic, etc. all led to creating the greatest villain in the history of cinema.

  • @risambu Vaughn's version of Norman Bates is more faithful to the novel than of the 1960 version. In the novel, Norman Bates is described as looking like an overweight and in the 1960 film, he is stout. Here, Vince Vaughn looks like an overweight so it was more subtle to the novel.

  • "A New Film by Gus van Saint"

    That's right, a brand new remake by Gus van Saint! Ah well, at least he went on to do Milk.

    Also, that's not the face of Norman Bates. That's the fact of a creepy guy who hangs out near the convenience store in my neighborhood.

  • The movie was not bad but the trailer is very good!

  • for a crap movie

    pretty cool trailer

  • no no no no no! this is alll wrong! anthony perkins is the face of norman bates. vince vaughn is a man of comedy not suspense.

  • they just copied the whole thing of the original in to coloured version, so for those of you who prefer coloured version of psycho, the remake is for you.

  • The thing is I would really like to see Vince Vaughn in darker roles.

  • This is the worst shot-by-shot remake ever made.

  • This is actually a pretty cool trailer.

  • at about 0:37 you can see rob zombie! no joke!

  • @zdevlin88 hahah you right

  • @zdevlin88 yes it's r. zombie, who else could've been be?..

  • @jedsebastian i pointed it out because rob zombie has nothing to do with the film

  • @zdevlin88 was about to say that! nice to see him.

  • why the hell would they make vince vaughn norman bates....thats sucha fail

  • @GG100FDZ ha ha ha loool

  • why remake psycho?

  • Ok, I LOVE Gus Van Sant, but why, why, did he have to remake Psycho?

  • it's just the same as the original but worse

  • They show the last scene in the movie as the first clip in the trailer, WTF!? I actually like remakes, but this, this was pointless, it offered nothing new or interesting, the remake of Let the Right One In was more different then this remake....and this trailer....fail. Thanks for posting thought, fun seeing again

  • How ironic is it that the first slasher film also had the first remake slasher film.

  • I dont think vince vaun is a bad actor hes just alot better in comedies. I havent seen this version of psycho, but im going to watch it out of curiousity. the first psycho film is amazing.

  • This sucks. Classics should never be remade.

  • At 37 seconds, a picture of old-school Rob Zombie is flashed. Didn't know Norman was a White Zombie fan.

  • anthony perkins says the lines way better

  • but vince vaughn kinda looks messed up

  • Nothing compares to the original. As much as Vince Vaughn makes me laugh, when people think of Norman Bates, they think of Anthony Perkins, one of Hollywood's most underrated actors. I was a little shocked to discover they tried to do a remake. The original is a masterpiece created by the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock.

  • @nothingness36 Like it's hard to spoil the ending of Psycho now!

  • 0:37 Rob Zombie?

  • @CreepyUncleSteve Yeah, I just noticed that too!

  • Umm...Norman Bates thinks about Rob Zombie? Really?

  • I don't know what Gus Van Sant was smoking when he casted Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates either, but lets all pray he got brain damage from it.

  • Gay

  • You didn't. You actually tried to replicate the Anthony Perkins creepy smile! ONLY ONE PERSON FAN DO THAT! Malcolm McDowell!!

  • Vince Vaughn, lol he's a humor actor, not psycho thing

  • @VIEWTUBE00000

    I know, the dialog is outdated in this remake because it's the same script used 40 years ago when it's suppose to be 1998 and people don't talk like that anymore. They should have updated the dialog and do different things.

  • @noirkitten

    You gotta remake a movie that wasn't beloved or well known in the first place. I don't see you complain about The Thing and The Fly remakes and what makes those different? were the original movies these hokey old 50's b-movies that didn't have the time or technology to do the original idea justice so the directors Cronenberg and Carpenter grew up with the old cheesey movies and made them better.

  • Gus Van Sant started 7 accounts and Vince Vaugh made 8 accounts

  • Excuse me: 'A New Film Directed By...'

    Yeeeeeah-NO!

  • I don't know why people have a problem with this film. It's the exact same as the original. Even most of the camera use is the same. Granted, Vince Vaughn is no Anthony Perkins but he still did a pretty good job. So did Anne Heche, William H. Macy, Viggo Mortenson, and Julianne Moore.

    If any movie "truly" deserves the tile of a remake, it's this.

  • @Scoonertuna

    NO, if it ain't broke don't fix it, there's nothing wrong with the original masterpiece and deserves no remake and neither did Halloween. It's stupid to use the same script from 1960 when the film is suppose to set in 1998 and they were talking about not getting married due to alimoney, people don't talk like that anymore. They should have updated the dialog and change some scenes otherwise it's like having a photo copy of the Mona Lisa to pass off as a remake.

  • why rremake something that needs no remaking. The only one i could ever see doing a remake of the original norman bates would be Johnny Depp... thats just my pick. there are alot of potential candidates. But none will ever compare to Anthony Perkins. even in II and III, his acting carried the movie. His portrayal of the now infamous Norman Bates is legendary. It is like trying to replace anthony hopkins in the hannibal lector films. It is too risky to even try.

  • @Siboneycamilo

    I agree, if it isn't broke don't fix it. They should have updated some stuff including the dialog which is the same as people back then did talked like that and had some things back in 1960 and this remake is suppose to be set in 1998 and they needed to change the clothing to today's clothing instead of 1960. Now The Thing and The Fly deserved to be remade in the 80's because the originals had something wrong with them.

  • Rob Zombie at :37

  • bahahaha i can NOT respect this movie with vince vaughn as fucking norman bates, man. not that i could respect this movie anyway. it is total blasphemy to remake psycho. shame!!!!

  • I know people say that no other person could ever play Norman Bates, but I think Edward Norton could've done a really good job in the role. And they should've tried harder to make it their own.

  • WHY?

  • iv not seen this, and i dont want too. Psycho is jus one of those movies that should never be touched. Its a classic

  • 0:37 Rob Zombie?

    BTW, I've not seen this, but Gus Van Sant can do no wrong.

  • What the hell?? Vince Vaughn is a comedian why would they cast him?

  • why is their a picture of rob zombie in the trailer?

  • I would only watch this to see vince vaugh play a villian :)

  • doesnt look good. :/ i Like the one from the 60's Better.

  • The single WORST and most POINTLESS remake of all time. Enough said.

  • @TheAltair4

    I mean there was nothing wrong withthe original in the first place? i adored Psycho 1960 when i was 16 back in early 98, it became one of my favorite movies. I was angered when i saw the remake in theaters saying at the end, Just the same shit done with same dialog, same everything and that sort of thing. Piece of crap, now The Thing with The Fly, Blob, Invasion of Body Snatchers, Dawn of the Dead, Hills Have Eyes, Halloween, Cape Fear etc. were better genre remakes.

  • @Johnlindsey289 No, the original Psycho was and still is a masterpiece. I can't believe that i actually paid to see this piece of crap back in 98. And to add insult to injury i even went and bought the DVD when it was very first released because i just had to know what was going through the director's mind when he decided to make it. They literally were plagiarizing the original by recreating it shot for shot. I mean they were even studying the original movie on the set while they were shooting.

  • @TheAltair4

    Damn remake, do you think The Thing and The Fly were better than this steaming heap of crap? i mean the originals were these cheap 50's Sci-fi horror b-movies that had a great idea but they didn't have the technology or time to do them justice back then, Carpenter grew up with the original and remade it with perfection as the same for Cronenberg. I wanted my money back after i saw this debacle

  • @Johnlindsey289 Yes this remake was totally pointless because the original is a brilliant,flawless masterpiece that can't be improved upon anyway but they didn't even try to do that. Instead they just copied the original frame by frame and it was just painful to sit through. The Thing and The Fly remakes are excellent examples of a remake done right because they took the original concepts and improved upon them. I was very angry and really wanted my money back after seeing this pile of dog crap.

  • @TheAltair4 Well if you want to nitpick the original Psyco isn't 100% flawless, in one scene where Marion pulls into the motel you can see a production lamp(post) off to left, it's not that hard to miss but you can clearly see it, and after the shower scene when Marion is completely dead with her head on the floor you can see her take a breath at one point just keep your eyes on her neck you can see it.

  • @theaterattendee No film is 100% flawless. There are always technical flaws to be found somewhere if you look carefully enough for them. Besides i wasn't nitpicking. The remake was just a pointless and all around bad movie, in my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheAltair4

    Not only that but the situtations and dialogue in this movie is sooo 1960 when it hasn't been updated to suit a more modern era but doing that stuff in 1998 from 1960 is stupid.

  • @Johnlindsey289 That's right.

    Psycho 1960 = total MASTERPIECE!!!

    Psycho 1998 = total FAIL!!!

  • @TheAltair4

    The Psycho sequels were better than this mess. Do you think Rob Zombie's Halloween was a better unneeded remake than this? at least it was different than the original

  • @Johnlindsey289 The Psycho sequels, even part 4, were much better than this trash. Rob Zombie's Halloween is an example of a remake actually trying to do something fresh and different with the original concept so i would say it's definitely better than this as well.

  • Terrible remake, 13 years ago when i was 16 who loved Psycho the original and it's sequels the year before this remake, i payed to see it in theaters and i got mad afterwards. It blew badly and made me mad, it's just a boring colored carbon copy shot-to-shot-scene-by-scene rehash with nothing new, now The Thing with Dawn of the Dead, The Fly, Crazies, Hills Have Eyes, Blob etc. were better than this hopeless mess.

  • Well done for giving away the hugest twist in THE TRAILER, I saw the original today and it was so damn good, I hate it when trailers are meant to attract people so much that they're essentially a 2 minute movie spoiler.

  • decent movie. plz don't call me this. thanks.
