Review of Psycho III (1986) by Stephen L — 23 Aug 2008
Anthony Perkins himself directs this second sequel to the classic film Psycho , and creates a interesting if flawed film. It again builds on the character of Norman Bates , as he struggles to keep a grip on his sanity and finds himself falling in love.
Perkins is again great as Bates and does an admirable job directing the film. The score by Carter Burwell (Fargo , Millers Crossing) is intresting , as is the cinematrography which is surreal and wild.
The film is kinda flawed from the offset being a second sequel to Psycho , one sequel was hard for many to digest. Theres also an increase in violence and nudity in this entry , feeling at times like a sleezy gorefest.
B movie legend Jeff Fahey is hillarious , and will either be the worst thing about the film or the best for many viewers.
