I haven't seen Psycho IV, but II was fairly good and III was fairly mediocre. Neither comes close to the brilliance of Hitchcock's 1960 film, but they are worth watching.
The less said about Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake, the better. It's competently made and the acting is solid, but Vince Vaughn's portrayal of Norman Bates doesn't work and it looks completely wrong in colour.
I'm surprised there are more votes for Psycho II than for The Original Is Best which should be the answer any film fan would give.
