Psycho Movie 1998 Review
By having a psychiatrist robert forster reproduce a five minute speech of clinical diagnosis at the end of the film van sant demonstrates that a completely unnecessary scene in the original if reproduced will be completely unnecessary in the remake as well.
Psycho movie 1998 review. She is murdered in the shower. A new vision of a classic nightmare. No film has ever been remade shot by shot but for the most part psycho 98 is. Psycho was directed by gus van sant and stars vince vaughn from the cell anne heche from nothing left to fear and julianne moore from carrie shelter the forgotten.
Her sister boyfriend and a private investigator try to find out where she is while we learn more about norman bates. On the way to see her boyfriend she stops off by an old motel run by the odd norman bates. Maligned by fans and disregarded by critics this remake has quickly fallen into irrelevancy. Gus van sant s psycho is a shot for shot remake of the alfred hitchock classic.
Marion crane steals a lot of cash from a man whom her boss is in business with. The percentage of approved tomatometer critics who have given this movie a positive review. Psycho 98 which i will refer to this film as for the rest of my review to avoid confusion surely does follow joseph stefano s original screenplay and is a bold experiment on van sant s part. Intrigued by the notion of taking an intact undeniable classic and seeing what would happen if it were made again with a nearly identical shooting script but with contemporary filmmaking techniques gus van sant recreates the motion picture psycho.
In psycho marion crane janet leigh steals money from her boss client and skips town. I viewed hitchcock s psycho a week ago. Van sant s version of psycho received mostly negative reviews. All critics 78.
Norman is cheerful but he s nervous and hiding something. It was awarded two golden raspberry awards for worst remake or sequel and worst director for gus van sant while anne heche was nominated for worst actress where she lost the trophy to the spice girls for spice world. She drives for hours and then exhausted and nervous stops in a remote area at the bates motel run by norman bates a delightfully creepy anthony perkins. This feature is not available right now.
