Psycho

1998 · TMDB 5.1

Directed by Gus Van Sant

A young female embezzler arrives at the Bates Motel, which has terrible secrets of its own.

Why it matters

Gus Van Sant's near shot-for-shot remake of Hitchcock's masterpiece, with Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates. It's a fascinating experiment in fidelity, exposing how much of the original's power relies on performance and era.
