II is extremely good, an excellent thriller in its own right, bolstered by great direction and cinematography. Hitchcock would approve. 8/10
III is watchable, but pales in comparison to the original. Perkins directed it, and he kinda didn't know what he was doing. 5/10
IV is decent, it plays out like a companion piece to the original, and it brings Norman's story full circle. Benefits from a Joseph Stefano script (he wrote Hitchcock's film). But still, it's not the original Psycho. 6/10
Remake... Don't bother.
