Sorry, this movie sucks
Crappy film
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The ONLY person who deserved to be killed was that irritating nosey reporter! Norman killed everybody(minus Maureen) but at the end, he HAD to kill the reporter but didn't! Why?! He's have been free. I hated Her annoying character. Reminds me of a lot of weasels in corporate media, today. Too bad.
If you think that you have seen it all, you haven't seen anything yet. Anthony Perkins is back as Norman Bates in "Psycho III". He's back at the Bates Motel, running business as usual. He gets some help from a up and coming rocker(Jeff Fahey), and his first guest is a former nun(Diana Scarwid) ,who would end trying to kill herself after a nun who tried to stop her fell to her own death. Maureen(Scarwid) is saved by Bates and would later fall in love with him. But the other woman is "Mother", who would do as she can to keep Norman to stay away. In the second installment, head games was involved. But the woman in the house isn't "Mother", it's Mrs. Spool, Norman Bates aunt! Was she worse than Norma? Or just the same as her sister? I think both women belonged to the "loony bin". Norman went back to his psycho ways, again. But this time, he was way more unhinged. Necrophilia was seen. Kissing one of the stab victims. That was very messed up. The first one was classic, the second one was tamer, and this one gives the meaning very much. Enjoyed it very much. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Alfred Hitchcock, the director of the incredible original "Psycho" film, despised the very concept of sequels and refused to make even a single one during his film career. Movies like this are exactly why.For a basic plot summary, "Psycho III" sees Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) still running his hotel business and still harboring the embalmed corpse of Emma Spool, his supposed "real mother". When a young nun (Diana Scarwid) who bears a striking resemblance to Marion Crane needs a place to stay, Norman takes her in and clashes with "mother" once again.The strange thing about this movie is that, storyline-wise, it really isn't all that bad. Basically, it isn't just bad for bad's sake, and director Perkins does a great job of re-creating the continuity from "Psycho II" and making this film feel like part of the anthology.The problem, though, is that "Psycho III" doesn't know what kind of flick it is. It tries to be a slasher film for a while, but the overall Psycho narrative doesn't lend itself to that. It also tries to look at Bates' insanity from a new perspective, but only ends up muddying the waters even further. Plus, a religious aspect is introduced into the narrative, but doesn't accomplish anything in terms of character development.Thus, this seems to me to be a film that started off with great intentions, but quickly descended (production-wise) into a nightmare. A few moments are decent enough for the franchise fans to keep watching, but others will just find it stupid. This effort can easily be skipped in the series.
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.
