Review of Psycho III (1986) by Michael Wilmington for Los Angeles Times — 29 Dec 1996
Psycho III--better in most respects than II--lets you down with the same swampy thud at the end. It's not a catastrophe. It has some good writing, and some better-than-good acting (Perkins, Diana Scarwid, Jeff Fahey), directing (Perkins again) and camera work (Bruce Surtees).
But it fails any sequel's acid test: It feeds off the original without deepening it.
