What's the difference between this and the original?

Actually, the two movies have a great deal in common. The killer does away with his wife so he can be free to have a life with Joan Crawford's character, with whom he's having an affair of sorts (she refuses to "put out" while he's still married, thus providing Joan with an opportunity to do some real acting).

There's also a trio of girls in the original, one being the kid sister.

Castle's films almost always had a nasty edge to them, and most of the characters had you wishing they step in a bear trap or something - but that doesn't make it camp. Time (if anything) has made it seem campy. The dialog was very much of its day - if you "hear" characters in a film from or about the 1920s saying things like "23 Skidoo!" you don't think it's campy, that's just how people spoke, that was their idiom. And the original I KNOW WHAT YOU DID was still riding the tail end of the '50s, even in '65. The wholesome middle class of hte era held onto the 1950s for a looooooong time.

So try not to ride the original too hard - it was good enough to remake, after all...

the killer did not knife his wife in the shower the guy was taking a shower his wife came into the bathroom to find the bathroom trashed she opens the shower curtin she starts running her mouth off then her knifes her in the shower no its not a rip off of physco

The main murder does recall Psycho, only it's the murderer who's nude and the victim who's fully-clothed.
