Editorial Reviews "...A work of 'metacinematic' research. By remaking PSYCHO, the film-makers have managed to replay formally notions of transgression and difference that manifested themselves in Hitchcock's original as themes and subtexts..." Sight and Sound - Gavin Smith
"...What could be juicier, or more appropriate, than this post-modern PSYCHO?....A fascinating stunt..." -- Rating: B Entertainment Weekly - pp.49-50 - Owen Gleiberman (12/18/1998)
