The climax proves thoroughly ridiculous, but by that point you’ve given up on the film anyway.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Polone and the screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker wanted to prank audiences, not actually terrify them. It didn’t work.

2/5

It’s a strange beast in that it’s too straightforward and dumb to work as a crime thriller yet too dull and scare-free to work as a horror, awkwardly falling somewhere in-between.

As a script, Psycho Killer underserves its hero. As a movie, Psycho Killer underserves both its hero and its maniac.

It may seem strange to wish that a film were executed with less polish, but this would’ve at least given "Psycho Killer" a grotesquely charming personality. Instead, it’s an unremarkable and totally forgettable slasher film

2/5

"Psycho Killer" falls well short of its potential due to its scattershot storytelling, some mind-boggling choices, and an ending that feels yanked from another movie entirely.

A straight shooter that delivers, without pretension.

I liked the cat and mouse story, but the ending lost me. I won't spoil it but what does one thing have to do with the other? when it comes on streaming, I'll watch it again to try to figure it out.

Adequate genre movie that has some interesting things to keep you engaged, but also clearly had some editing issues. Back half of the story sort of speeds to a conclusion that defies the pace it set about in the first third. Felt like long legs light.
