Although it scared the socks off most moviegoers when it debuted - as the first 'slasher' film and before most people had ever heard about psychotically disturbed serial killers - the film just isn't that frightening today.ДЄfter horror pictures like 'The Exorcist,' 'Halloween' and 'The Silence of the Lambs,' the original 'Psycho' comes off like a well-made, but decidedly antiquated piece. Whatever the explanation, it wasn't a good decision for several reasons.ДЇirst, the film, while revered by many, simply isn't a great picture when viewed today and certainly isn't one of Hitchcock's best (think of 'North By Northwest,' 'Vertigo,' etc.).

The question that now comes to most people's minds is 'why?' I can tell you for a fact that I haven't a clue.

While many classic titles have been remade throughout the history of film - with pictures such as 'King Kong,' 'Rear Window' and 'Sabrina' receiving updated overhauls - and others have had their plots or individual scenes pilfered by later day auteurs - raise your hand, Brian De Palma ('Body Double,' 'Blow Out') - it's not often that a film is re-shot scene by scene. OUR TAKE: 3 out of 10 Not since the advent of 'colorizing' classic Hollywood films has a studio's handling of a well- renowned movie stirred up so much outrage among cinema purists.
