Unnecessary, and much lauded, remake has a few minor changes from the original but is mostly faithful although it seems to be fairly miscast. Can't top the original but doesn't try to. ... A decent redux for those unfamiliar with the Hitchcock version, but purists will despise it.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
If nothing else, the Psycho remake proves that someone can take a great idea and an intelligent script and turn them into a bad film. All it takes is misinterpretation. And maybe a little narcissism. 41/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
