Review of Psycho III

Let's see, he kills his girlfriend in the original Psycho because he adores his mom and believes she told him to (Ed Gein, anyone?) and in this one he sends his (hot) new girlfriend to a one way trip down the stairs on accident. This scene could be better but wasn't too bad. Many sequences were nicely done ( a cop sucking on bloody ice cubes, a phone booth murder referencing the shower scene in Psycho) and the acting was good for the most part. Psycho III did what few slasher movies do for the killer, successfully make the killer sympathetic instead of pathetic. However i didn't personally care for the character of Duke as he seemed too one dimensional for a major character. This is a must-see for Psycho fans and slasher fans.
