      Hitchcock is known as a master of suspense, but for him, suspense is not about making the plot confusing, but the audience has a premonition from the development of the story (he likes to let the audience See a time bomb under the table), but don’t let you know how the protagonist will get out of trouble.
      This statement is suitable for most of his films, but "The Mental Patient" is not. This film uses the consistent style of flashbacks, allowing the plot to naturally change from the...

      Can't escape...

      I really like Hitchcock's movies

      I feel that this short fat director is really talented

      Like a master

      Whether the storyline of the movie he directed

      Still on-screen music

      Still the Yan of the actor and actress

      And delicate mental activities

      Can be called classic and perfect

      ...

      But after all, it's a long time

      When watching, there is always an anxiety that cannot be substituted

      ...

      But watching the remake of "98 Horror"...

      The remake is too much

      It's rare to want to comment on a movie that you feel is bad. Although this is directed by Gus Van Sant, taken by Du Kefeng, and played by Julianne Moore...

      In fact, if it is not affected by Hitchcock’s original work, this film is not too bad, after all. The story is still the same, at least it's a qualified horror movie. If you don't know the plot in advance, it might feel quite scary and exciting. But as long as it is put together with the original, it is boring. Especially when I...

      In my opinion, this shouldn't be a remake of a degraded movie

      The script and lines of this "98 Horror" are almost exactly the same as the original. Of course, the camera position is roughly the same, so many people say it is an intact remake, but I don't think it is that simple.

      Here are some differences that I found and understandable: First, the title appeared in the production company. Both are produced by Universal (the original version is also Paramount). The original version is not equipped with a soundtrack here, but 98 The version is the...

      How can it be said so badly? Isn't it pretty? Basically, the original version is reproduced in color, which is hard to...

      Is this remake so bad... By the way, I remember that the full name on TV at the time was 1998 Horror. At first I thought it was an emotional movie... The latter was really... I was scared when I saw the truth about his mother. Is really not...

      Samuel 'Sam' Loomis: You never did eat your lunch, did you?

      Marion Crane: I better get back to the office. These extended lunch hours give my boss excess acid.

      Samuel 'Sam' Loomis: Why don't you call your boss and tell him you're taking the rest of the afternoon off? Its Friday, anyway - and hot.

      Marion Crane: What do I do with my free afternoon? Walk you to the airport?

      Norman Bates' Mother: It is sad when a mother has to speak the words that condemn her own son. I can't allow them to think I would commit murder. They'll put him away now as I should have years ago. He was always bad and in the end he intended to tell them I killed those girls and that man, as if I could do anything but just sit and stare like one of his stuffed birds. They know I can't move a finger and I want to just sit here and be quiet just in case they suspect me. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching... they'll see. They'll see and they'll know, and they'll say, "Why, she wouldn't even harm a fly..."
