Psycho III




As a film, this one doesn't live up to Psycho and Psycho II. But somehow it's not unsatisfying either. It's definitely a solid 80's dark comedy that stands out.

It's a fun watch and completes a story (even though it could have just ended at II as well, I think).

It's been awhile since I've seen it, but there is a lot more "Mother" going on in this one.



"Why can't you leave my poor son, my poor Norman alone?"

Carter Burwell's score is actually a solid effort. The main title theme that plays throughout the film is a somber one. Pretty moody and effective. Interestingly you hear Norman Bates playing the theme on piano in a scene, and it's played in cheesy dance form over a jukebox in a scene.

The download includes the "Scream Of Love" single.
