  • this isn't something you'd expect indy auteur Gus Van Sant to sign on to

  • Really cool

  • 1:18 I'm outta here and going to bed, all right kill someone checked off of today's to do list

  • How incredibly arrogant it was of Whatshisface, to remake something that was the creation of the genius Alfred Hitchcock. It's just terrible, self-serving, and arrogant.

  • The remake wasnt even a re-imagining! It was the exact same script with shitty acting! The original will always be the best and Anthony Perkins IS norman bates

  • How is that re-imagined? It only remake...

  • older version was better cuz the girl was hotter lol

  • @Flat0506313609 janet leigh, i have dreams about that lady <3

  • Janet Leigh and Anne Heche were drop dead gorgeous. No pun intended.

  • DINA RIGBY IS GONNA PAY!!!!

    amazon.com/Dish-Served-Tales-R­evenge-ebook/dp/B004W82MCK/ref­=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8­&qid=1312396447&sr=1-1

  • And now someone "has" done it and nice work!

  • I believe that the other actors in this version played their parts very well. They took it very seriously, and Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates pleased me. The remake was nice and I loved it. It paid homage to the original film.

    Oh Yeah I forgot one thing. Original all the way. Anthony Perkins is much better.

  • @myers82 not only is the Psycho remake one of the WROST movies ever... it's also one of the worst. And everytime I see Vince Vaughn I think of Dodgeball.

  • I dont know wat every ones complaining about they did pretty well because I ve seen worse befor

  • Psycho remake is one of the WROST movie ever.

  • @ 1:41 She should shave...

  • who washes themselves liek that...

  • @katie12x  Janet Leigh...and Anne Hesche...apparently...

  • I think theres more blood in this version, its better for me cuz more realistic.. =)

  • What the? It's almost exactly the same! That's not a remake, that's plagiarism!

  • @aquagrl63 Its not plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you EXACTLY copy someone else's work and not give credit for it. Before they made the remake, they cleared all the copyright issues (so they could legally make it) and if you have seen the remake you would know it clearly states in the credits that its based on the original film. I highly recomend you do your homework next time before posting a comment like that.

  • @SpaceBoyProductions1 I know it isn't actually plagiarism. That was just an exaggeration. I was just commenting on how the movies are so similar that the remake was pointless.

  • in the original it looks like shes having to much fun in that shower

  • Wow well done!!!! This is really skillfully edited and brings them together nicely :)

  • Fucking Norman Bates, He killed both. *Spoiler Alert*

  • This short clip is a thousand times more clever, and entertaining, than the whole wretched remake of 1998 all put together! ..your apologies to Mr. Hitchcock is a nice touch..but to be honest, I don't think he would have minded~ ..now the remake, on the other hand.... ;)

  • Pretty pointless, to be honest.......

  • the original is better than this :L

  • WTF was that? o.o

  • I AM HITCHCOCK. I AM DISAPPOINT.

  • loving psycho funnies Mr Albie beats up a bicyclist for scaring Birdies :  )

  • You almost get a glimpse of Anne's b-hole.

  • @backyardboogiewoogie Actually, you saw Anne's pink b-hole in the movie, well, barely. :p

  • il remake fa schifo

  • In the 1990s, to celebrate the centennial of Hitchcock's of Hitchcocks birth, Universal Studios - owners of the film rights to several Hitchcock classics - offered directors the chance to do remakes of his films. This is the only one that was made. So, we're safe from remakes of "Vertigo," "The Birds, "Marnie," and "North by Northwest." And so it goes . . .

  • its not re-imagined, its the same scene with a colour camrea and short haired actress...

  • This is just pitiful.

  • with apologies to Mr. Hitchcock. lol....nice

  • Norman Bates Creeps The Shit Out Of Me. This Movie Has Ruined Showers For Me.

  • epic...

  • I'll die dirty before I ever take a shower in a dark remote hotel in dark countryside

    V

    V

  • I'll never take another shower as long as I live. I'll die dirty. LOL

  • I agree with Jen8706....the remake was total crap, with those added images in the shower scene and Arbogast scene....what the hell was that????

    Simply put: YOU CANNOT IMPROVE ON PERFECTION, and the original was perfection....no one had ever done it before, and no one has been able to do it since.

  • Schöne Gegenüberstellung!

  • older version was better than this shit

  • That was really good :)x

  • MAMA MIA QUE BOCHORNO

  • This Is The Worst Porn Movie I've Ever Seen

  • hard to say to remake sucked coz it is excatly the same but with fucked acting

  • Seeing Heche stabbed was a joy compared to poor Leigh!

  • There is one important point. Anthony Perkins made Bate shis signature role because he made the audience sympathise with him. Vaughn's character is rather strange and unappealling. Janet Leigh's Marion Crane had sex appeal and vulnerablity. Anne Heche's Crane is neither attractive nor sympathetic. Surely William H Macy has more quirky modes to his characters to be playing a straight forward detective! Anyway the remake was horrible - no more please!

  • You can not repaint the 'Mona Lisa' - it will always feel like a repaint or copy. This scene by scene remake of 'Psycho' was not any good. It was always going to feel like a poor copy but not this bad! Maybe the music /script do not feel contemporary - or maybe the original should not have worked in the first place but somehow it did! The Thirty Nine Steps was reshot in 1959 and although inferior, was not quite as bad as this! Maybe it is a lesson to us that we should not remake works of art!

  • @paolobravo1

    Yes remake something that isn't very well known or not beloved! let's say there is a special place in hell for anyone who attempts to remake Casablanca for some movies should be off limits period. Some movies like that, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Maltese Falcon (Yes it is a remake on it's own), Gone with the Wind, It's a Wonderful Life etc. have stood the test of time, being fabrics of cinema and still can be loved today.

  • wtfmate

    

  • Remake was horrible.

    Psycho is one of those things that should have never been touched.

  • Re-imagined? How is a shot-by shot remake of a classic "re-imagined"?

    If by re-imagined you mean the brief shot of her caboose and the hokey digitally inserted knife wounds, then you don't have much of an imagination, I'm afraid.

  • at least her ass was showin

  • I love The Thing remake ... kart  Russell ... was amazing best remake done ever better then the original

  • crazy vid

  • The newer version is only more disgusting. Nothing else.

  • the new one makes me laugh

  • I don't care what anybody says, but both those clips were the worst ever! poorly done. movie was terrible.

  • Now im afraid, to take a shower! ^^

  • so true...

  • I like this editing... Personally I find both movies great... Mr. Hitchcock´s was amazing... very advanced for his age.. but the remake is a piece of art considering that it is shot by shot.. it is like lithography .

  • @carlosmendoza85 Advanced for his age? He was friggin 60 years old!

  • @simolionshane Uhm... Sorry english is my fifth language... what I meant is that he was very advanced for the years... 1960 was it? He had a vision of what the horror movie industry should be.... I think many directors should, at least once a year, go back and check Hitchcock´s work.

  • Remake is so funny. How could you possbily bleed so much in 5 seconds?

  • in the original movie the blood was chocolate syrup because it had the consistency of blood

  • the original is way better

  • @HoneyAndWine its hard to say that because the remake is shot for shot

    the only difference is color... and vince voughn

  • kinda an eye rape going from black and white to color

  • One word: color

  • I don't understand why, if people thought the original was so great, that a remake which was pretty much shot by shot the same, would be considered bad

  • Evidence of how pathetic Hollywood is nowadays. Almost imagined the studio sitting around talking about this one...

    "Oh gee..lets remake this classic with our favorite bull dyke as the star. "Who cares if she is ugly enough to stop a falling rock... the mainstream media will pass it off as sophisticated. By the way, anyone figured out how we can show a crucifix in a jar of piss?... Oh well, there is always tomorrow and the next scropt.. and the next day..and the next...."

  • @tonysshadow hahahha fucking best comment i've ever read on youtube

  • Most remakes are horrible, stupid hollywood! just leave the originals alone

  • Well... clearly no one likes the remake... but I do like this video.

  • Original was the best, remake was horseshit!

  • Pointless is a good word to describe the remake. Not awful perse, but when I was watching it on TV all I could think of was what's the fucking point. It just made me want to watch the masterful Hitchcock version instead.

  • I don't get why people are Hating on the Remake....it's Practially the Original..WITH COLOR and Different Actors.

  • I prefer the original version. Hitchcock is simply the best!

  • Of all the movies to make a re-make of, they had to do Phsycho, seriously wtf.

  • Van Sant's version of Psycho was the first and only film I have ever walked out on in my entire life. I stayed with the pain until about 10 minutes before the ending, then I couldn't takeit any longer. I wiouldn't have even stayed as long as that, if I hadn't paid good money for my ticket. VS's version is excrement.

  • mudou a musica: agora é: Uma vez flamengo sempre flamengo

  • When I watch a horror movie I always manage to think of an obstacle of how I'd dodge the attack. Then I saw Psycho (original) and really saw just how vulnerable people really are. Nothing's scared me worse then that. Remaking it was one of Hollywoods biggest mistakes.

  • It was an interesting idea to edit the two sequences together and it worked well. However I have to say I don't think it was a very good idea re-making this film; purley because it is such a classic and didn't need tampering with. But then again that's what happens when you get the green light from big studios who have cash to waste, I'm so against these endless remakes that Hollywood are producing. It's as if Directors don't have anything new to say, which isn't so.

  • hey,you ppl r dum to say that the remake is too bad.Can't u see the ass more clearly in the remake as compared to the original one?

  • @gyfre84 Pray for brains, sweetie.

  • @gyfre84 That's not the point. The point is that the remake took every scene and dialoge right out of Hitchcock's cold dead hands and gave the role of the reviered character of Norman Bates to a bad actor. None of the movies Vince Vaugn has been in have been any good. Hell, you don't believe me, watch every movie he's been in. You'll be halfway through one and want to shove a spoon in your ear. Because if you're going to suffer that much pain, best it be by your own hand.

  • @greenpeach20 oh hahaha you made my night! Beautifully said!

  • Shouldn't have been remade.

  • mattmorettini

    The scenes of the two films together were very nice.

    I liked your video, you are very creative!

  • I hate this remake, this movie was very bad.

    Who said that Vince Vaughn can be Norman Bates?

    When they remake the movies always make "shit".

    Who knows the first movie (1960), hate this remake. This is normal.

  • To those out there talking about Gus Van Sant's "homage" to Hitchcock: Although I respect Gus Van Sant's work as a director ("To Die For," "Milk," "Drugstore Cowboy" "My Own Private Idaho," etc.), he should have known better than to do this. And as for those talking about "shot-by-shot", most of the stuff from the original was cut out or shortened (The Doctor's discussion about Norman is a good example) or added (Macy's death scene with the image of a cow?). Some films should NEVER be remade.

  • i vote HItchcock was superior. even ignoring fact of just how long ago it was and all the associated factors.... and i know some people find the black and white kinda distracting, i know i did the first time. but i know lot people who find it actually helped build the atmosphere, as your brain automatically uncomfortable, due to the lack of colour. (colour blind people not withstanding ofcourse)

  • To be fair on Gus Van Sant he made this as an homage to Hitchcocks original, so people that might be put off by the premise of an "old" or "black & white" film would give Phsyco a chance and see what an excelent film it is, thats why its a carbon copy, shot for shot because Gus Van Sant knew Hitchcocks was perfect.

  • Anne Heche's hand gestures in the beginning of the Psycho remake shower scene are hilarious. She looks so snobby! XD

  • the original was filmed in black and white on purpose. when it came out, technicolor was the standard for at least 5 years already. It was not only used so that the shower scene wouldn't be cut out but also to create a certain atmosphere; this was successful in all respects.

    Hitchcock was one of the greatest auteurs in the history of film and has already set the standard for most great movies.

  • Il remake fa schifo, non da patos, quella specie di attrice più che coltellata sembra ubriaca, appena apre la tendina nel remake, quella non sembra che gridi spaventata, sembra più un grido di piacere. La mano sul muro, le stesse inquadrature, ma perfavore...!!!

  • did you know chocolate syrup was used for the orignial?

  • @GreatJobVideos i thought it was coca powder

  • @GreatJobVideos i know isnt that genius?!

  • @GreatJobVideos Yup, he thought it was more realistic.

  • gus van sant... you will die in your next shower!

  • Nice mixing job. Although the original was better!

  • this shit creeped me fucking out i hate it

  • @gay5panzygrl The remake has a much better quality, the original was just made with very poor filming technique & technology

  • @carlotapuig

    are you nuts?? - your saying that Gus Van Sant has better filming techniques than Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense??..... wow - this is a real sign of the times.

  • @carlotapuig

    actually - all Gus Vant Sant did, was do an exact shot by shot remake of Hitchcock... so technique goes right out the window, because all he did was rip off Hitchcock - and did a terrible job at it as well..... technology in film goes without saying, of course technology is better now than it was then - but that only gets you so far.... there's a reason why modern horror sucks, compared to films like Psycho, the original Halloween and The Shining.

  • PIece of garbage remake this one was! why mess with something when it isn't broken? i think Gus Van Sant should be crucified for this crime. now some remakes can work well like The Thing or The Fly yet those were better than the originals, this one was just a pointless done for money remake.

  • this is so cheesy

  • 1:01

  • tHE REMAKE WAS MORE COLORFUL

  • duh..

  • I can't stand Gus Van Sant's lack of camera talent in the remake.

  • Me too! It sucked ass.

  • Norman Bates' water bill is going to be sky high!!

  • I thought it was a waste of time too, until I caught the remake late at night one time. The film is just an homage to the original. Every scene in Psycho is so engrained in our collective consciousness that watching the remake just makes you remember how fucking brilliant the original is. I think thats what its supposed to do. It combines with your memory and emotions of the original to create another viewing experience. Its not a great stand alone movie, its more like an artistic statement.

  • Gus Van Sant was a fucking moron...what fucking company would give up millions of dollars to make a shot by shot remake, when there was nothing wrong with the original to begin with??

    God what a waste of money!!

  • Gus Van Sant is a great director, I whole-heartedly believe his did this movie because he thought it would be funny. His shower scene itself is unintentional gold.

  • wow that's a joke if I ever heard it.

  • @Jen8706 It was an experiment.

  • @Jen8706 That's not even the worst part. Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to cast Vince fucking Vaghn as Norman Bates?

  • @Jen8706 I think they wanted to see it in color. |D

  • @Jen8706

    Most agree, where The Thing and The Fly remakes back in the 80's done for money like this one or were there's something wrong with the originals to begin with as Cronenberg and Carpenter did something better right?

  • @Jen8706 What remake is not a waste of money. Please mention one remake that is better than the original and I wont take your comment as a waste of time on your part.

    What Van Sant showed here is that remakes are remakes, no one will ever deem them as good as the first one no matter how close to the original they are. Of course I preferred the first original, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the remake. It was the act of getting everything almost exactly the same that I admire.

  • @cannibalsuitcare How about "Willy Wonka" that remake kicked-ass..

  • The Remake was HORRIBLE!

  • @gagagagn3 That's an understatement

  • @gagagagn3 Bates was horridly re-cast. Bale would've been good, but he'd done American Psycho.

  • @gagagagn3 That's like saying the first one is horrible, because they are essentially the same movie, only one is in colour.

  • @cannibalsuitcare when I watch a Remake I expect something new, fresh, surprising. What else is that the acting was very bad in the movie, and there where some things not in the original that they put in the remake, that just seemed redicolous - have you seen the shower scene? I wouldn't dare to call the first one a bad movie, what I meant is, that the remake was useless because they didn't put anything original in it. I probably should have exactly said what I meant, I guess.

  • @gagagagn3

    Do you think The Thing and The Fly were better remakes than this trash? the origina; Psycho is still loved and enjoyed today. The original Thing and Fly movies were unloved hokey 50's b-movies that had something wrong with them because they had no time or technology to do their ideas justice at the time until two talented directors who grew up on the original movies made something fresh and better then their original movies.

  • @Johnlindsey289 why should I think that? :-S

  • @gagagagn3

    You seen both Thing and Fly right?

  • @cannibalsuitcare no i think the acting is better in the original lol

  • There really isn't any comparison between the 1960 and the 1998 re-make. Alfred Hitchcock wins hands-down. He was a genius at cinematography and direction- period.

  • You know, i've never seen the classic or remake and before reading your comment I had already guessed the classic was better... Remakes rarely beat a classic. Thank you for making my opinionated prediction come true.

  • lol beethovens 3rd

  • a good job, guys!

  • remake stojí za hovno! staré psycho je nejlepší

  • The original is so much better. I don't like the remake, it's a cheap knock-off. I like Vince Vaughn, but nobody can do Norman Bates like Anthony Perkins. Hitchcock's version all the Way!

  • talk about a shot for shot remake

  • lol the 60's psycho shot is better..!

  • @ewanthug I agree. Not much was added in the '98 version. Nothing, really.

  • @html0000 yeah i agree with you too,98 remake kinda terrible , vince vaughn sucks so bad at it..i mean can you imagine it.,its late 60's though, its genius shot from there shower scene..no lie..alfred are genius for making this.and tony was good at it,and vince failed..sorry~

  • Nah, remake is.(cause we got to see Anne Heche naked). ;)

  • amen too that

  • yeah

  • He always had a way to make you feel fear and anguish even in scenes were there was no particular reason to feel so.And all these without the stupid splatter things.Hitchock was and wil be the best thriller filmaker

  • Orginial was the best beacusee like even if u remake a scene dead on they horror industry thinks that the audince will react the same. orgiinal pyscho was a classic as well as well this scene. Hitchcock dident use blood and gore to portay a major role in making it scary. It was the suspence that really builds and makes this movie a classic in my eyes. Buttt all in all the Orginial is best... NO DOUBT :)

  • the point is can you follow a script? everyone loves do do their version but for the sake ofargument, lets do it the way it was originally intended... that was the idea and i think it was wonderful to do it exactly the way hitchcock first did it

  • what was the point of remaking this movie if it was filmed exactly the same way as the original?

  • You could say to show respect for the original. But in my opinion, you can make it different while still showing respect for your source material.

  • I dunno... respect and exact copying are completely different things.

    If we're talking about auteur theory here, then this is actually a slap in the face to Hitchcock.

    There is a big difference between paying homage/respect and copying exactly.

  • cause they can't come up with anything original

  • There's just something that ruins, or at least lessens the impact, of the shower scene when it's shown in color. Black and white just seems...classier. I mostly notice this with the blood. Seeing the actual red (or pink in this case) sullies it. The blood washing down the drain seems more symbolic in B&W.

  • Hitchcock used hershy's chocolate syrup to make the blood in the original because he wanted the darkness and the contrast, in color this gets lost and yea... it looks faker somehow to me too.

  • There would be sooooo much more blood

  • original wuz the best!no doubt.

  • Should have finished on zooming out on the eye and using a shot from the thrid version of the scene: Mel Brooks in High Anxiety. Zoom out from the eye and he says, "That kid gets no tip."

  • MrJinxo is right. I'm not a Mel Brooks fan but "That kid gets no tip" was one of the funniest lines in any movie, ever.

  • nice contrast!

  • What do you mean 're-imagined'? More like ripped off by less talented wannabes.

  • I know, what is it with so many fucking remakes nowadays, would producers not just come up with there own ideas

  • Very cleverly put together! I do enjoy both versions, but the original is better by far!

  • I like the new Version in Color

  • i like the old one better i dont see why they did the remake it was all exactly same line just crap actors and some pink blood

  • Anne Heche looks like a ten-year-old boy who just escaped from a concentration camp.

    In other words, I'd tap that.

    .................NOT!

  • anne heche = so not sexy!

    vince vaughn is no tony perkins!

    y would someone remake this?

  • If I wanted to see that much blood in the water, I would watch jaws.

  • When
