OK--"Psycho" is an acknowledged classic horror film. "Psycho II" was, surprisingly, a very good sequel with an intricate plot. They should have stopped there. This needless third one has a bad plot (which contradicts the second one), lazy acting (Perkins was very sick when he made this...and it shows) and shoves blood, gore and nudity in your face. The first one had none of that and the second one used it sparingly. Compared to this Gus Van Sant's remake of "Psycho" looks like a masterpiece. Some of the dialogue in here was laughably bad and the scene where someone sees Norman as Mother as the Virgin Mary was almost enough to make me run screaming from the room. Why did they do this? Perkins must have been desperate for the money. Best forgotten. Probably the worst horror sequel ever...and that's saying a lot!
