•The story is the same as that of Hitchcock's masterpiece, with the young employee Marion who runs away with forty thousand dollars only to be murdered in the "Bates' Motel", and her fiancé who runs to look for her helped by a private investigator. It was logical to expect that in a decade where horror cinema no longer manages to find inspiration and new ideas to create truly original "nightmares" one would end up drawing heavily from the "classics" of the genre and among these the "classic" par excellence of the master of suspense. But as was inevitably to be expected, no actor, however good and "committed" like Vince Vaughn, could repeat the perfect performance of Anthony Perkins, and above all no director (and even less Gus Van Sant) could equal the genius demonstrated by Hitchcock in that sublime work that was the original "Psycho". Therefore, the result could only be useless and untimely. In the role that was Janet Leigh's we find Anne Heche, while Viggo Mortensen plays the character of Sam Loomis.
