Movie Reviews of Psycho II

Movie Review: Surprisingly good..
Summary: 5 Stars

I know what you're thinking.. a sequel to one of the greatest movies ever made, done 20 years after the fact. It's sure to be a bomb. Right? Wrong.

Psycho 2 continues the story of Norman Bates, who after spending several years locked up in a mental institution after murdering several people, has been deemed fit to return to society once again. Some people, particularly Lila Loomis, the sister of Marion Crane who was murdered by Bates, disagree. After returning home, Norman soon begins to receive notes and phone calls from his "mother". Little does Norman know that Lila is behind it all, and begins to become convinced that his mother has returned from the grave and slides back down the slope of insanity. One by one, those who don't know enough to stay away from the Bates house begin to disappear.. The town sherrif becomes suspicious that Norman is up to his old tricks, but no one knows for sure..

Anthony Perkins once again was brilliant as the tormented Norman Bates, and a solid supporting cast along with tons of suspense really make the movie work. Nothing can match the original Psycho, but this is most definitely an effective sequel that's worth a watch.

Movie Review: Great!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm glad Universal has released Psycho 2 and 3 and in 16:9 Widescreen.I have always loved The Psycho movies and I thought Anthony Perkins was a great actor,it's so sad that he's no longer with us.I hope Universal will update the orginal classic for 16:9 TV's soon,the first release of Pyscho was not bad but it could of been alot better,the Laserdisc version got a THX transfer,why not the same for DVD? I remember seeing Pyscho 2 for the first time when I was kid and I remember being on the Edge of my seat.Great Movie!! I dont think 3 was as good as 2.And you think at the end of 3 that Norman would never be released from the mental ward ever again,but he does for 1 more Psycho movie Pyscho IV:The Begining,I hope Universal will release that movie as well on DVD,you get to see Henry Thomas as a Teenage Norman Bates.Great stuff!

Movie Review: "Oh god, mother, blood! blood!"
Summary: 5 Stars

The best sequel of all time. It's 23 years later and Norman is coming home. After 23 years in a mental institution Norman Bates is deemed rehabilitated. He goes home and begins working and leading a normal life. But his past continues to haunt him. Once he's in the house, familiar voices begin to be heard again. The sister of the 1st movie's shower victim wants to put Norman back into custody. So Lila, with the help of her daughter, begin to torment Norman. Murders begin to happen once more but are the murders the work of Norman? This movie contains all the shocks and turns that made the first so great. Alfred Hitchcock's gothic horror masterpiece was not shamed by this sequel at all. It made us realize what a good movie it really was.

Movie Review: Just as good as the original
Summary: 5 Stars

I remember seeing this when I was younger and getting scared out of my mind. Now that I am older, I see it from a more psychological/suspenseful sense...and it is even better! Sequels usually pale in comparision to the original, but this one stands on its own. It not only has a great storyline, but also adds a great continuation to the Psycho history.

Psycho II deals with Norman Bates' battle with sanity as those he harmed attempt to push him back over the edge. All the while you are thinking--is mother really dead?--is Norman committing the murders or is it all in his mind? I would positively recommend Psycho II to fans of the original and new fans who want to explore the world of Psycho.

Movie Review: The BEST Horror Sequel EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars

Finally we can see with this Widescreen version of Psycho II!! WE get to see the genuis of Dean Cundey The Director of Photography.

This Movie as good as the first one! Sure the first is a masterpiece and I really do like it slightly better, But Psycho II is really a 4 star movie! Amazing directing, Amazing Acting, Amazing MUSIC by Jerry Goldsmith.

I dont want to ruin the movie for anyone, so just buy it and I promise you will really enjoy of this movie.
