Psycho 4
My how things have changed. Somehow,
Norman's been released again. How does someone kill so many people
and keep getting released? No wonder he's messed up. Anyhoo, he's
also married! So that means he finally got some and all that sexual
repression is gone, right? Nah...this is a made for Showtime movie,
and the 3rd sequel, so business as usual. For the record,
nearly the entire movie is a flashback filler, hence the sub title
“The Beginning”. While it fills in the completely unnecessary
backstory, all we really learn is that Norma Bates had it coming,
and so did her boyfriend 'Chet'. But mostly Norma. Fuck that bitch.
Overall, the movie isn't really
interesting, but the production is actually pretty strong. Dialog,
cinematography, lighting, and acting were all damn good without being
relative to the budget. In other words, Showtime took this pretty
serious. Too bad it really had no teeth to it as it was more of a
psychological drama. Who would have thought that with a title like
“Psycho”?
The cast is kinda unique. John Landis,
CCH Pounder, and Henry Thomas, best known as EEELLLIOOOOTTTT, plays a
young Indiana...er, Norman Bates. This also marks the last Psycho
film Anthony Perkins starred in, as he died 2 years later. Still
though, a mostly 'meh' affair. Time to put the final nail in this coffin.
Sunday: You and what army? Oh...that
one. I see.
