Review of Psycho III

Psycho III (1986)
5/10
A slight improvement over "II"...but still nothing new.
27 October 1999
"Psycho III" is actually a slight improvement over the routine and muddled second part; it has much better production values, Perkins gives a sly performance and his direction is often stylish. Still, it often feels like a typical 80's exploitation film, because of its explicit violence and nudity. And it contains some undoubtedly campy moments - Norman asks his "mother" to stop "laughing at him", while the only one who is laughing in the room is the famous "Woody Woodpecker" in a cartoon that's on TV at the time. "Psycho III" is NOT for Hitchcock followers, but for those who want to waste some time.
