Johnathon W @Hoppynsc 3d Trashy but fun entry in the franchise that while not as good as the first two, is still a good time. Anthony Perkins remains excellent as Norman Bates, playing his twitchy personality to perfection as a killer truly remorseful for his acts, even if he can't stop himself. He gets mostly solid support, especially from Jeff Fahey as Duane, who just fight be as crazy as Bates. Behind the camera, Perkins delivers some atmospheric direction but comes off more trashy than scary, but still fun, and at around 90 minutes, makes for a breezy watch. Not a classic by any means but fun. See more Pedro A @PedroAlao Jul 18 A very good setup, with intriguing and intelligent plot lines surrounding a strong leading performance. Unfortunately, it starts to fall apart in the final act, with some twists and turns that don't really work.

The dialogue totally lacks subtlety and there are some really strange filmmaking choices like the flashback, record scratch and the comically silly ice box moment. The story doesn’t sustain the runtime and offers nothing new or interesting. Some of the acting is good, some is below average. Anthony Perkins was so good in the first film but not good in either of the sequels, I think it really depends on who is directing him. The characters are okay, it’s really missing any depth though. I appreciate how they continued the story and made an actual sequel and not a remake or prequel or whatever. In general actually there’s almost no tension. I didn’t like the ending. Overall it’s really not good at all, considering it’s the shortest of the franchise so far it’s actually the most boring. See more John K @WQCMI Sep 17 Better than the first two, and very satisfying. I can understand why some people don't like this sequel, but I thought it was fantastic. The visuals give that creepy tone for the film, the callbacks to the first two films is interesting, and the addition of Jeff Fahey makes this film excellent because of how his character can be a threat to Norman Bates.
