PSYCHO II
1983 **** 113 mins.
This is a "Surprisingly good sequel, with Perkins in a wonderfully canny reprise of his role as Norman Bates . . . Director Franklin build some terrific suspense scenes [in this] first-rate shocker" (Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide). Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) has been set free after 22 years in an insane asylum, only to return to his old house and motel. Murders start happening again. Is Norman back up to his old tricks, or is someone trying to get him committed again? The answer lies at the heart of this wonderful sequel.
