It should be a completely (or at least generally) different thing (thus, I do not like shot for shot remakes).

I agree with you, Metternich. I found it to be pointless, and I just cannot see Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates, and I think that speaks to how profound and spot on Anthony Perkins performance was. Nothing against Van Sant either, I have enjoyed almost all of his other movies (Even Last Days drug me in, contrary to what a lot of people I know/have shown the film to have said). Psycho just didn't work for me, either.
