I’m gonna give this movie a 7.5/10. Even if people or the critics say the movie is pointless, it’s just their opinion, I mean people say it’s pointless but it’s still just a movie/remake so I decided to give this a chance bc people are still allowed to do remakes if they want (shot-for-shot) even though people didn’t ask for it but sometimes people just gotta give remakes a chance. It does have a few goofs though, when Marion and Arbogast are getting killed, there’s still noticeably no blood on the knife, and there are 4 quick shots during the kills which are shots of storm clouds, half naked women blindfolded, and a cow in the middle of the road. But overall I do enjoy this as much as the original.
Like so much of todays culture it's just something to say, THE OPINION to have. I wonder how many of the people who claim "it sucks" or act like it was such a crime against Hitchcock actually saw the movie or watched it with an unbiased approach, not going in to it already looking for it to be an empty mistake or failure? It's by no means a great work or must see masterpiece of cinema, but it is pretty interesting & unique to see his "experiment" unfold, successful or not. I think the contradictions of musical score & dialogue with the updated look, props, environment etc. makes for a very stagey & choreographed tone or rhythm, but that kinda lends to a unique charm. It is good that it wasn't super successful because if so we'd have gotten a whole era of "shot for shot remakes" with every classic and the rehashed film industry we have today would've come sooner & been even more frustratingly cynical and profit driven, if that's even possible. I'm only on this topic now as I watched it recently after also finally getting to the sequel, Psycho II, which I was honestly pretty impressed with. I'm fairly picky when it comes to "slashers" if you can call it that, but Psycho II is by far a surprising and satisfying gem. I feel I was actually impressed since I'd avoided any of the later sequels for so long.

Well he changed the house that’s even worst than changing the ending.
I honestly enjoy the remake
Same I actually think it was pretty decent/good unlike a lot of people
