	Amazon.com: DVD: Psycho (1998)
		Documentary "Psycho Path", an intimate look at the making of Psycho (1998) (qv)
		Granted, he liberally splashes color throughout the film (especially in the case of the infamous shower scene), and this is a great-looking movie, but in his obsession with adding a new physical dimension to the film, there's little insight into these characters that Hitchcock hadn't already provided.
		In this film the impact of the sisters was fully reversed.

	Film Quarterly: Suzhou River. . - Review - movie review
		Suzhou River is not a remake, like Psycho (1998) for Psycho (1960) or Point of No Return and Black Cat for La Femme Nikita or even The Magnificent Seven for Seven Samurai--it revitalizes its "source," riffs on it, makes it new.
		In Suzhou River, on the other hand, there are two interrelated pairs, and the psychologies cross gender lines: both Moudan and the narrator are in love; both Meimei and Mardar are obsessed.
		Wong Kar-Wai's film emphasizes the relativism of our lives and love stories, and is told, as it were, from within, but an omniscient narrator tells it from within, or at least an omniscient filmmaker, so to speak, who moves freely between the different narrator-characters' interiorities.

	BBC NEWS Entertainment Film Bale begins move into big league
		In 1998, he played a journalist in glam rock drama Velvet Goldmine, opposite Ewan McGregor, but it was his role in 2000's American Psycho that drew him the most attention since his Spielberg film debut.
		Throughout the 90s he mixed roles in arty films like 1997's Metroland with Hollywood parts like one of the leading voices in Disney's Pocahontas.
		He has taken challenging roles including a serial killer in American Psycho and a paranoid insomniac in The Machinist, for which he lost 63lb (28.5kg) in weight.

	SPLICEDwire: "Psycho" (1998) review
		For all practical purposes, this "Psycho" is a color Xerox of Hitchcock's film, the granddaddy of all modern horror movies.
		Why would you rent the 1998 "Psycho" over the original?
		The "Psycho" redeaux is not a masterpiece, and it isn't meant to be.

	channel4.com/film - The Ring
		A freaky, creepy nerve-shredder, Japanese director Hideo Nakata's 1998 psycho-horror Ring (Ringu) is widely regarded as one of the most disturbing films to emerge in recent years.
		Based on the first part of a trilogy of novels by KÃ´ji Suzuki (dubbed 'the Japanese Stephen King') about a cursed videotape that if viewed leads to death seven days later, the film went on to become Japan's top grossing movie (this title was later taken by the US remake, perversely).
		The $60 million film was in production by November 2001.

	Vampires (1998)
		'Vampires' is a good horror flick with no scares but plenty of other content to please the viewer.
		The recently released 'Psycho' is the same way, it's not as good as you'd hope but it is fun and entertaining.
		The make-up, special effects and story are first rate, but there is no scares or terror that the film could have had.

	Wong Kar-Wei 7
		He made his Hollywood debut with Gus Van Sant’s ill-advised 1998 remake of Psycho.
		Most Hong Kong films are given titles in both Chinese and English for domestic consumption, and sometimes, the two titles have little to do with each other.
		By “classical” martial-arts films, I mean in particular those textually conservative wuxia pian produced by Hong Kong before the 1980s, as well as some later examples, such as Jackie Chan’s star vehicles.

	The Frame: Ken Jacobs, Douglas Gordon, Filip Cenek
		Keaton’s Cops (1991) by the American Avant-Garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, 24 Hour Psycho (1993) by the Scottish-born artist Douglas Gordon and After the Assassination (1998) by the Czech artist Filip Cenek are three works of 1990s that offer some interesting insights when juxtaposed to each other.
		Gordon’s choice to return, together with Hitchcock, to the spectacular aesthetics of the 1950s filmic representation is hardly surprising: Psycho represents a perfect example of an archetypal psychodrama inevitably inscribed in the American as well as European collective memory.
		One day of Psycho A concept that may at first seem to be a witty commentary; a postmodern take on a piece of “popular culture,” becomes a compelling experience of time, image, movement and finally, film itself.

	Movie Review - Celebration, The - Hollywood Bitchslap
		EGGHEAD: With the ghost bit they do bend them, but the fact remains, THE CELEBRATION is one of the very best, freshest films of 1998.
		EGGHEAD: Actually the gimmick of using a home video adds texture to the proceedings but the film, its subject matter, script, and quality of acting, would have stood on its own in any format.
		EGGHEAD: As I was saying, THE CELEBRATION came out in 1998 and is quite a feat.

		DiCaprio, who this week officially passed on the controversial serial killer tale American Psycho, is set to begin work early next year on the Danny Boyle-directed drama The Beach.

	Horror Films
		Director Mark Pellington's X-Files like The Mothman Prophecies (2002), starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney, was a psychological thriller/horror film based on a legendary 'true' creature with mothlike features and red eyes in Point Pleasant, WV.
		Respectability was awarded to the horror film genre when director Jonathan Demme's shocking horror/thriller The Silence of the Lambs (1991), starring Anthony Hopkins as the murderous 'Hannibal the Cannibal' and Jodie Foster as a vulnerable FBI agent, walked away with five major Academy Awards - a clean sweep.
		Most of these sequels or imitators were exploitative and featured shock, gory violence, graphic horror, 'teens in peril,' computer-generated special effects and makeup, and usually a homicidal male psycho who committed a progressive string of gruesome murders on female victims (where brutal killing/slashing/hacking metaphorically substituted for a rape).

	DVDFILE.COM: Heaven Can Wait review
		It is not a shot for shot remake like Psycho (1998), but it is basically a carbon copy of Here Comes Mr.
		The foggy "heaven" setting is one such example, and it is hard to judge such a scene without knowing how this film looked when it was originally released to theaters.
		While Heaven Can Wait is not a great film, its charm and fluidity make the film a partial success.

		Vaughn has worked steadily since then, with roles in such 1998 films as Return to Paradise and Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho.
