Oddly enought the Psycho remake was supposed to be shot exactly like the original - frame for frame - scene for scene - word for word. They even kept the "mistakes" from the original.
That's why it's on my hated remakes list.
I'm not sure what the point was in doing that, but it might make for a good film student study I guess.
I actually liked Scream, but as someone said, it's a satire. I remember Ebert (the movie review guy - I know, who cares what he says) in his review of Scream saying that usually when a genre satires it's self, it spells the end of the genre. With movies like "I Know What You Did Last Summer", "Valentine", "Urban Legend", "Scary Movie" etc. I got scared that he was right and Horror was going to die. (I'm not knocking those movies). I think Wes said Scream was supposed to rebirth the horror genre, but it just gave birth to these low-intensity copies. Thank goodness (or darkness) the intensity in horror is still alive.
