Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Legsan This directorial debut by lead actor Anthony Perkins is a great example of an overlooked movie that makes for a neat and rather amusing viewing experience. It manages to shine a bit more light on Normans condition and helps extend the Bates universe, it also adds a boorish debauchee named Duke. Norman has returned to his seemingly harmless pushover but elusive characteristics that he forms to shield him from close scrutiny. The themes of exclusion and the connection of adrift people present to us more depth; it shows that empathy is real in him and help us to relate to Norman. At the same time we are lead on a rather mild but bumpy roller coaster ride of a narrative.Quotes of interest -"The past is never really past, it stays with me all the time, no matter how hard I try, I cant really escape, its always there, throbbing inside you, colouring your perceptions of the world and sometimes..controlling them" - Norman (Anthony Perkins)"I wouldn't mind filling in until you find somebody permanent, I just wont be staying around too long" - Duke (Jeff Fahey) "No one ever does" - Norman (Anthony Perkins)At this moment a stuffed owl in a display of mid flight looms over Norman as he speaks, glaring intensely , Norman replicates the stare."Murderers are victims too" - Tracy Venable (Roberta Maxwell) Cupids arrow plays a vital role in the conclusion of this movie that I think is trying to emote to us that love hurts, especially if you encounter the wrong companion. Overall the editing in this movie is consistently good, the dialogue kept up with the pace, the underrated soundtrack worked very well with the sound design overall to build up the surrounding events, and the SFX are all performed to a nice level, if sometimes a little sun drenched. It feels like Anthony Perkins was giving his all to the direction of this movie and also to the character he plays so very well. I enjoyed it. Interesting morbid facts - Lead actor Anthony Perkins played Norman Bates in all 4 Psycho movies, he died from aids related Pneumonia during the filming of psycho 4. His widow (Berry Berenson), a famous artist and model, died as a passenger on American Airlines flight 11 on September 11th 2001.

Kirpianuscus Psycho directed by Anthony Perkins. that is the basis for discover this film who is far to be great but who propose new sides of Norman Bates. proposing few real interesting scenes, using well known scenes from Hitchcock filmography, giving right contrast between the lead character and the other characters, introducing the theme of mass media and the theme of love, transforming Norman Bates in more than a freaky old man closed in his mental illness, it is not a deception for the fans of Psycho and a honorable manner to explore a special character. Perkinsțs high virtue is the science to transforms Bates in a kind of Old Greek tragedy's hero. because the religious references of Maureen, the struggle against the others remands the fate. good point - the delicate love story.it could be better. it is the right observation of each crime/horror fan. but, as piece of the puzzle, it is the useful piece .

The Couchpotatoes Just finished watching the third Psycho after watching the first two and even if you can't say it's a bad movie it is not the same as the other two. The first one will always stay a classic. The sequel after so many years wasn't bad either. In the third one I just thought there were a couple of bad actors and lines so it can't be as good as the others. Anthony Perkins though, he will always do great as the psychotic Norman Bates. He has the perfect face for it and his acting is still as believable as in the other ones. To me they should just have limited it to the first two. Don't need to milk out the story more. But if you are a die hard fan you might just like this one as well.

Top_Cat84 Opens with a scream of "There is no God" and follows an ex-nun who happens upon the Bates Motel. Her initials are MC and a lot of things about her remind Norman of Marion Crane from the first movie. He gets nervous around her but after saving her from a suicide attempt they start to get on and even go out on a date. It's not long, however, until Mrs Bates starts killing again!I think the film could have done without the religious aspect and instead gone in a different direction. That being said, it isn't a bad film.This is the first instalment in which you know who is doing all the killing, but this doesn't take away from the film - in fact I think the audience expects to see Mrs Bates/Norman killing people.The shower scene from the original movie is shown again, but it's done with more style than in the second film and is actually relevant in this film. Further, there is a new take on the shower scene regarding a bath instead and with a different outcome.It was good to hear "We all go a little mad, sometimes" again as it is one of my favourite movie quotes and there are many other homages to the original in this film.Anthony Perkins again plays the part of Norman Bates well, albeit with less cheeky smirks and less boyish innocence. As with Psycho2 the supporting cast, again, slip to the background in the shadow of Perkins. The man who helps out at the motel and the sheriff are perhaps the only two that are memorable.The fact that it's 1.5 hours long earns it half a star more to equal my score of 2-hour long Psycho 2.
