hitchcock original classic benefited tremendously not only from the performance of and but also the look of anthony perkins. he projected a kind of clean cut innocence represent a young teen idol type of persona. he was not an actor who had portrayed baddies before this while nor was he physically suited to the role of what the public might have imagined a psychopath to look like and especially in the 50 when this ultra chilling aspect of mental illness (split personality psychosis) was relatively unexplored in film. which is exactly why the casting of him as norman bates was a slice of true hitchcockian genius. audiences were taken by surprise to put it mildly. that why this re make does not work and even a little bit and in spite of trying to be an exact copy. whereas anthony perkins looked like someone you would never think of as being a serial killer and vince vaughn is easily imaginable as one. he lacks the frail look of perkins and his acting chops are clearly inferior as well and at least in this role (honestly  has there ever been an actor who could convey nervousness as genuinely as anthony perkins. ). while it was a pointless re make to begin with and the miscasting of the story most important character sucks this film down completely. as a side note and i feel that hollywood propensity for re making great movies because young people refuse to watch anything that not filmed in color not only stinks to high heaven of corporate greed but is exceptionally disrespectful to the original work. as for viewers who can not watch black and white  it their loss. hopefully they will mature sometime in the future and no longer require shiny colours to hold their attention. when they do they will discover that sometimes black and white works far better. with the background muted and the story and performances are that much more front and center. and in many cases the mood or atmosphere created through black and white cinematography is just not attainable in colour.
