Short description

A young female embezzler arrives at the Bates Motel, which has terrible secrets of its own.

What's left behind the scenes

  • In the episode where the character played by Anne Heche approaches the car dealership where she is to exchange her car for another, she passes by a bus stop with a poster for the film "Six Days, Seven Nights" (1998), in which Heche starred with Harrison Ford.
  • Nicole Kidman and Drew Barrymore were considered for the role of Marion. Kidman was busy with other projects, and Barrymore was deemed too young for the part.
  • Robert Forster starred in a television version of Hitchcock's famous film "Rear Window" that same year.
  • The film is based on the novel Psycho (1959) by Robert Bloch.
  • In the shower scene, the blood on the tiles, the knife, and the wounds on Marion's body were added digitally during editing.
  • Viggo Mortensen starred in another remake of an Alfred Hitchcock film that same year – "A Perfect Murder." In both films, he plays the lover of the main character, both films feature a bed scene with his participation, and also a crime involving the same amount of $400,000.

  • Robert Forster appeared in the television version of Hitchcock's famous film Rear Window that same year.
  • During filming, director Gus Van Sant and the film crew watched a DVD recording of Hitchcock's "Psycho" to do everything the same way as in the original film. When Van Sant noticed errors in that film (a door opening without a key, a bloodstain on the bathroom wall unexpectedly disappearing), he decided to repeat them in the remake.
  • Gus Van Sant appears on screen in the episode where Marion returns to her office after her lunch break. In this scene, Van Sant is talking to someone who looks very much like Hitchcock. Hitchcock himself appeared in the same episode at the time.
