a true labour of love, an homage in such deliriously infatuated thrall to its inspiration that it seems more arthouse folly than studio cashcow - or, to cite the psychiatrist near the end of Psycho, "these were crimes of passion, not profit."

A futile, soulless shot-by-shot remake of Hitchcock's masterpiece.

failed project

A lot less scary!

The cast is fantastic, sure, but they're wasted in a sea of redundancy.

Van Sant has cranked up the realism about 20 points, but somehow what he achieves for the effort is a larger sense of banality!

Hitchcock probably wouldn't tell this story if he was making films today, and he certainly wouldn't tell it this way, with internal 'voices', back projection, minimal nudity and violence.

What Van Sant's film does, tremendously well, is make the material foreign again.
January 01, 2000
The film is polished when it should be edgy and impersonal when it should be seductive.
January 01, 2000
It remains the most structurally elegant and sneakily playful of thrillers!

Contains nothing to outrage or offend partisans of the original, yet neither does it stand to add much to their appreciation.
