Psycho 3

Honestly, all Norman has to do is rub
one out. Do a little knuckle shuffle and all that sexual repression
would be halved. It's no cure...he's still a psychological hot mess,
but half is a great start. But I guess if he did, we wouldn't have
this film, so here goes:
This takes place about a month after
the last film. Norman hires a doe-eyed drifter that look suspiciously
like Jeff Fahey to run his danky motel. Drifter boy is sleazy as hell
and truth be told, I loved watching Norman beat him over the head
with a guitar near the end of the film. Anyhoo, shortly after he
arrives, a pleasant looking young woman shows up to rent a room in
the motel and Norman is immediately smitten. After a quick
wine-n-dine, we see Norman cut loose and almost get some! But after
everyone remembers who they are, things go all Bates-style and
awkward sexual repression surfaces. That means peeps gotta die!
The ways in which they die have become
much deeper in the slasher film realm and done mostly with the same
knife. This actually fits in nicely for the era but also suffers from
the same affliction that every other movie series as the plots
weaken, and the repetition becomes tiresome. Still though, not a
horrible movie...just seriously played out.

you pry it from my cold, dead hands 3: The Beginning
