I think that Hitchcock's
Psycho is on par with Bloch's novel. I could even accept the argument that it's better in some aspects, but to call it a "vast improvement"? Here we have to part ways.
BTW, the fact that the LotR movies "cut to the chase" is probably a boon to people with the attention-span of toddlers
EDIT: Regarding
Psycho, there's nothing in the book that matches the pathos of the shower scene. Here I gladly conceded the superiority of the movie.
