Anthony Perkins owns the character of Norman Bates. He could have made 20 sequels to Psycho and he would be fascinating in every second of every one of them.
There is a scene where he is walking to a room at the motel and he thinks "mother" is there and the look on his face is priceless, it's a sort of bemused haze.
The movie has elements of a dark comedy and ridiculous camp. There is a scene between Perkins and Jeff Fahey that is absolutely hysterical.
Honestly, I'm not even sure how I feel about this movie. On one hand, I don't think it's good but, I find it very watchable. For me it exists in the bad/fun bad arena.
Ultimately, I would recommend it to someone who wants to watch an actor own a character like few actors have ever owned a character. Have a few dark laughs and shake your head at the mismatched parts.
Psycho 3 might just work for you.
