Well, Gus Van Sant took up the Psycho challenge rather too literally and
flopped ( : But perhaps not whom we'd class as a major director anyway.
Interesting that Hitchcock reverted to a bigger budget and state-of-the-art
special effects (for the time) with The Birds, despite the huge success of
Psycho. Would have been nice to know what would have happened if Hitch had
completed his low-budget "Kaleidoscope Frenzy" arthouse/sexploitation project
in
the mid-late 60s, but it's perhaps revealing that even then the studios had
the final say and weren't prepared to take the risk. Instead we got Topaz - oh
dear!
