Garry A @heavyg 4d Had it not been for nostalgia and my hope that this was a better film i would have turned it off before I finished it. It's just an average sequel. See more Christian M @chriss17eu 6d Few good sequels exist, and 'Psycho II' is one of them. What initially seems unnecessary quickly proves otherwise, standing almost at the same level as the original. Its opening, with the iconic shower scene, suggests repetition, but instead becomes the starting point for something with its own identity. Richard Franklin and Tom Holland brilliantly blend Hitchcockian suspense with slasher elements and psychological horror, creating a balanced and intelligent script. Anthony Perkins is the film’s greatest strength, transforming Norman Bates from a mysterious monster into a deeply introspective, contradictory, and even compassionate figure. Rather than focusing on the victims, the film becomes a fascinating character study, humanizing the myth without excusing him. 'Psycho II' doesn’t copy Hitchcock’s classic — it expands it, giving Norman Bates unexpected depth and making his story feel worth continuing.

And reflecting on, improving, talking about, and revealing the abuse of oppressive power and social injustice for a better society is one of the justice we should seek.

Thankfully Meg Tilly is excellent so it evens out overall. The production quality is much higher than the previous film with far fewer issues with the plot and effects. It also looks really nice, like they have perfected the medium of film. It’s an interesting story and actually a good continuation of the original film but the pacing is not good. They keep hammering home plot points and character decisions. The stabbings are significantly better, really horrible to watch. It’s a fine film, average, less polarising than the first film. I didn’t like the ending, it lacked complexity or any moral cleverness.

Psycho 2 is a great sequel to Psycho, with a great cast (Perkins, Miles, Tilly, Franz, Loggia) twist and turns, off course it did not make the kind of history the first movie made, its just a very good movie.
