Awful TV spin-off from the Psycho series where Norman dies and bequeathes the hotel to a troubled young man who starts seeing visions of Mother. Directed by Richard Rothstein. Stars Bud Cort, Lori Petty, Gregg Henry and Jason Bateman. The trailer makes the film look halfway decent, which it really isn't.
How can The Psycho remake be so bad when it's imitating what Hitchcock did? Unnecessary maybe.

Ironically, is that Mr Simon (Bates) I hear taking at the beginning??

Horrible film but much better than the 1998 remake...

@FreddyKurganNimmo I stand corrected. You are right.

@FreddyKurganNimmo Yeah, Blues Brothers 2000 was total crap. I thought that Bates Motel was at least better than Creepshow 3, which many people consider to be the single worst horror film of all time. Day of the Dead 2 wasn't much better. lol

@TheAltair4 For me, Bates Motel is leaps and bounds better than Van Sant's steaming pile of shit(which, in all honesty, isn't saying much). And, not only do I also 100% agree with you in considering Van Sant's remake to be the worst remake of all-time, but I rank it right up there as the 2nd worst movie I've EVER had the misfortune of wasting 2 hours of my life to watch that I'll never get back. The only movie I consider worse is Blues Brothers 2000, and even then, not by much.

@FreddyKurganNimmo No, i'm not kidding. I hate this piece of rubbish just as much as i hate the god awful 1998 remake, which i consider to be the absolute WORST remake of all time.

@TheAltair4 "Equally bad remake"? You're kidding, right? Bates Motel was on par with Casablanca & Gone With The Wind in comparison to Gus Van Sant's ATTROCIOUS 1998 Remake
