Original all the way for me. Really don't understand why it was remade as the remake took away from the original rather than adding to it, IMO.
What's your opinion?

The remake had Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche. Do we even have to ask? I haven't ever come across anyone who even LIKED the remake, let alone thought it was better.

I have a deep, personal hate for Anne Heche. I don't really know why. I have some reasons, but none to explain the hatred I have for her. So, her version sucks.

I don't know if I have ever seen the first Psycho all the way through. Just bits and pieces I recall. And I refuse to watch the remake.

The original is a great watch. Saw it the other day for the first time in years. Loved it.

I saw it about 2 months ago for the first time and I loved it. I also refuse to watch the remake.

The remake was a shot-for-shot copy of the original, which wasn't so bad, except listening to every single cast member deliver their lines was like listening to a 3rd grade class read Moby Dick.
T-t-t-today, junior!!

There's no way the remake is in any way, shape, or form better than the original. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not in a million years.
Gus van Sant experimented with doing a shot for shot, beat by beat remake, and I applaud him for that, but that's all his movie is. A school exercise that failed miserably. Maybe it would have worked with different actors, but it would have worked better if it added something to the original story, or just followed the original book more closely.
Hitchcock can rarely be beat.

It will be always the 1960 version of Psycho for me, it's one of my favorites of all time.

Original for me with flying colours. I loved how Hitchcock got the realistic screaming in the shower scene.

Original for me with flying colours. I loved how Hitchcock got the realistic screaming in the shower scene. Also apparently the first film to show a toilet flush apparently. I think I saw the remake once years ago but the original is a classic. This remake also shows the issue with remakes. If you change too much is it really the same film anymore? But if you don't change enough or as appears with this one, anything, then what is the point, you might as well just watch the original. I did watch a couple series of Bates Motel although never finished it. Was a prequel and I didn't mind it although I kind of watched it as kind of its own thing

Definitely the original all the way! It is another great timeless classic! The remake is just another bad impersonation stretched out to 90 minutes!
