Review title: Van Sant is WAY off base!
Product review: This movie is not scary, it's not suspenseful, it doesn't have the superb acting of Anthony Perkins, and it has a dumb cow in the road as some kooky, exaggerated way of telling us that weird things are happening. Speaking of weird, this Norman Bates is TOO weird. If you were Ann Heche--who looks thoroughly bored in this film--you'd run out of the Bates Motel parlor and would rather fall asleep at the wheel driving all night than eat with Vince Vaughn. Though this is the 90's version, William H. Macy (who did a good acting job) as Det. Arbogast looks like he stepped out of 1960. A mess of a remake.
