Which Movie Explains Norman Bates's Insanity The Most?

I would say Psycho and Psycho IV The Beginning. The Psycho movies are great. But the orginal one is better. The one with Vince Vaughn sucked. What do you guys think?

The first one and IV do the most. II has that crucial story twist at the film's end, about the identity of Norman's mother.
I wouldn't even try to watch that shot-for-shot remake in 1998. The definition of pointlessness.

I think Psycho 4 explained the most how Norman began killing.
It portaits in a very good manner the love-hate relationship with his 'Mother'.

As a matter of fact I own Psycho 4 on DVD and it's one of the rarest DVDs in the world.

well, i own it too. it was released in Europe in a box with all four movies
of psycho.

I got the North America Version and that i found on vergio

Psycho did the best job. The explanation of Norman's psychosis by the Shrink was spot-on and very detailed.

Psycho II was the best.

I thought the black and white one was boring, didn't see any others.
