Horror. Thriller. Mystery
In this sequel to Hitchcock's 1960 classic, Norman Bates has finally been judged mentally sound and released from the mental institution where he has been for 22 years. Lila Loomis, the sister of Marion Crane who was murdered in the shower 22 years before, protests fiercely over his release. Then Norman sees his mother in the window of the Bates mansion and the murders start happening again. But this time it isn't Norman... or is it?

"It does have its moments, and it's better than your average, run-of-the-mill slasher movie (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | ||||
"An impressive, 23-years-after followup to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 suspense classic" | ||||
"Though far from a worthy successor to the original the film clearly could have been much worse" | ||||
"Surprisingly, even after waiting 20 years, they managed to turn out a smart, darkly-comic thriller with some imaginative twists." | ||||
"You don't have to be a Hitchcock idolater to see that this dumb, dull, plodding, pseudo-camp bore is a callous, commercial parasite." | ||||
"While the film lacks the thematic depth and darkness - and the virtuoso style - of Hitchcock's, it does a fair job of recreating the exhilarating blend of horror and black humour" |
