10 Worst Slasher Movie Reboots Ever Made

While each film on this list is utterly terrible, not one holds a candle to the atrocity that is the 1998 remake of Alfred Hitchcock's horror classic, Psycho. While technically not a slasher film per se, the original Psycho from 1960 was a climacteric precursor to the genre. Moreover, it is also one of the single best horror films ever made.

Most remakes fail as a result of failing to comprehend the source material, this one failed, however, because it tried too hard to copy it. This remake is all but a shot for shot remake of the original. The key difference being that the remake has absolutely no life, energy, emotion, or effort to speak of. Every single performance in this film is phoned in by an actor or actress who very much look like they'd much rather be somewhere else. This isn't helped by the fact that Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates is one of the single worst miscastings of all time.

The iconic shower scene isn't the the intense, climactic moment is should be, but is instead one of the most vapid displays ever put on film. The scene that is arguably the single most iconic in horror history, done no justice whatsoever. Vince Vaughn and Anne Heche's performances in this film are an absolute disgrace compared to those of Anthony Perkins and Janet Leigh in the original.

For a reboot that is literally a carbon copy of the original, 1998's Psycho is a film that still somehow managed to get everything wrong.
