Marion Crane steals $400,000 from her boss, she runs away and on the road she stays in the small Bates Motel, owned by psycho Norman Bates
..
I have watched this week both the original 1960 and the 1998 remake for the first time.
The original psycho is overrated. The remake is stuck to the original ideas but add some surrealistic colour and own interpretations. Anthony Perkins did a great job, but the rest of the characters were horribly acted. The remake had a great cast. The actors create different characters ,even using the same lines, and bring more depth to their roles, particularly Anne Heche.
The remake has improved acting, the score in digital sound and more realistic sound effects. The movie is still a little too slow It could have used some pace.
The original is a pretty fine movie (since it was made in 1960), the remake is slightly better, with a few more adjustments it could have been a masterpiece .
