Summary: Never Trust a Man With A Hairpiece
Review: Made famous by a certain director that we all know and a few shocking scenes that we still remember, Norman Bates was birthed. Powered by a need to kill and by a madness we all saw transpire, finding the thoughts of a woman that couldn't be, that shouldn't be, and yet that spoke to her son from beyond the grave. Then there was his twenty-two year stint after his insanity plea, his would-be freedom being tampered by victims not cured along with the killed, and the rekindling of a fire. And now, well, we have the beastly Bates once more. This installation sees Anthony Perkins, the only person that could actually place the role, once again coming back and playing the part of Norman. From the introduction of his character poisoning birds in a birdbath outside his home to him doing taxidermy on them while eating, you simply know that he is going to come through for you. And he certainly does, delving deeper in the Norman mindset. Then enters the sparks that the fire needs to be kindled in a disturbed young woman and a guitar-playing jerk that picked her up hitchhiking. Add to that a reporter that asks Norman to do a piece on his side of the insanity defense before snooping a little too much,, a few words about a missing woman in town, a suicide attempt, and love and you have the set-up for potentially horrific things to take place. No matter how many movies I see on the subject, the idea of a psychotic mingling in with society and how he manages to do it talks to me. The more times I'm exposed to that presence, to that entity, the more I am enticed by something that I don't understand but that I am intrigued by because it is so foreign. That's because its not simply the deed, but the horror pulling its strings, that are fascinates me. Take Norman Bates, for example. While being known for the "shower scene" that has taken place in the past, he's actually committed a number of other crimes - being somewhat driven back into insanity in the second installation - beyond that. Why? Because of his dead mother still speaking to some outlet within his might. and what caused that? Trauma perhaps, the inability to cope with the killing of her or the being alone manifesting her and, therefore, giving her live. This has plagued him over the years, but all the while there is something about him, the innocence of being haunted and mad but not a true monster, that surrounds him. He doesn't mean to do any harm, but his mother, she won't leave him alone. So he finds that himself involved in a game that he really doesn't understand or control; always thinking himself a trapped little boy acting as his mother's grave. Then comes brutality to it all, something that interests me as well. Here, you see the opposing end of the spectrum, the victim, being broadcaster. The plight of someone that you can somehow cling to as they meet fade in a phonebooth or in some forgotten motel room because of this haunted man, it adds a duality. And here, in this instance, the duality is bloody and brutal enough to make one cringe. Added to that is the fear he strikes in people because of his old deeds that manifests in people, the newer things happening that would confirm thoughts they fear, and they speak as well.
Combined, you have a morbid piece that is well worth seeing.

Review: I like Tony Perkins and I liked the original Psycho movie and thought Psycho II was an okay sequel but Psycho III was horrible, a real disaster that I did not enjoy watching at all!

Summary: Better Moreover
Review: Psycho 3 takes you into a more in-depth tour of Norman Bate's mind. It explains his motives, also adding in some traditional silliness with the victims. Frightening and funny, you see Norman's good and bad side and finally understand them. Just about the most thrilling of the collection, Psycho 3 is a must see.

Summary: Unnecessary tripe
Review: Psycho was an enormous success.
Psycho 2 was an excellent original sequel.
Psycho 3 is a joke. After an excellent twist at the end (Norman's real mother( the series should have finished on that note. Yes, a sequel could have been made but what would have been the point in rehashing the original idea? Psycho 3 is basically a repeat of Psycho minus the action, camerawork, acting and, oh, pretty much everything else. The plot mirrors practially mirrors Psycho, a woman seeks refuge in a motel but the difference is she falls in love with Norman. However as she grows to know Norman better she starts to suspect things are not as they seem. As the bodies pile up Tracy must decide whether this is the work of Norman or nothing more.
Rubbish sequel which I would say has been disowned by now.
Better to have a powercut than to watch this mindless drivel.

Summary: A mixed bag.
Review: Psycho III is a film that leaves you with a sense of dissatisfaction. On the temperature scale, it's lukewarm. Nothing about it is particularly bad, and nothing is particularly good. Don't get me wrong, there are genuine moments of excellence. Perkins' clear familiarity with his character is exploited to pleasing effect, in the recreation of his hobbies, his habits, his mannerisms. The atmosphere of the motel and its desert location are also evoked better here than in any of the other films, with its dusty forecourt and the evocation of dry, piercing desert wind. These moments, however, do not compensate for what the film lacks, which are some of the more essential elements of a horror film (most notably tension). Still, it's entertaining, and certainly worth taking a look at. Diana Scarwid is very nice to watch, with her tormented nun on the run a very original infusion into the series. As for the DVD, the picture and sound quality are fine, but there really is no excuse for the lack of original widescreen formatting.

Summary: Is a third "Psycho" worth watching?
Review: Anthony Perkins is back in his trademark role of the weird and creepy motel-owner Norman Bates. With this movie Perkins also makes his debut as a director. A third installment of the Psycho series at first glance seems like perhaps a little too much. The pleasant return of the familiar cast (ofcourse with the obvious exception of those who got killed in the first two movies) is a good start. Fairvale and it's citizens are as recognisable as ever. The story revolves around reporter Tracy Venable, who has arrived at Fairvale to figure out if there's perhaps a little more to Norman Bates than meets the eye. I would say that this might be a good movie for you to watch if you loved the two prequels as much as I did. I couldn't get enough of that creepy old house on the hill and Norman's struggle against insanity.
But the one important thing you have to keep in mind - the factor that will decide whether or not you'll like this movie - is that the overall feel of this third installment is very different from the first two movies. There's certainly no guessing on "who's done it?" here! Although athmospheric, Psycho III is not a thriller. It's more than anything else, a stalk-and-slash movie. And a pretty decent one. I admit that the quality of this movie simply is no match for it's two predecessors, but the fact remains I really liked it anyway.

Summary: MOTHER! OH GOD MOTHER!!! BLOOD BLOOD!

Well not to spoil the movie to you the nun comes at stays at the Motel but before you know it due to the affect of Psycho II Mother starts to inerfear agine, and bodys continue to get thrown into the swamb and just like before Norman continues to stand up for his mother................
