Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview with American Movie Classics just before his death, Anthony Perkins admitted he was not up to the task of directing this film, feeling his technical knowledge to be too limited.
- GoofsWhen the reporter Tracy is shown Mrs. Spool's apartment, the manager tells her that the police have already paraded through the apartment. Yet there is mail and a notepad by the phone and magazines with many phone numbers on the covers. It is inconceivable that the police did not take these items in order to get answers to Mrs. Spool's disappearance, especially since one of the phone numbers was for Bates Motel, obviously linking Norman to her.

Featured review
this time around you seem to have more of a slasher type 80's film , meaning that there is a lot of teens, school age kids partying at the motel. with Norman's strict upbringing by his mother, his morals come into play here. Jeff Fahey is playing Norman's assistant in running the motel, a nun who has lost her way stumbles upon the Bates motel, upon seeing her Norman is reminded of Marion Crane, he instantly falls for her. seeing that suitcase with the initials M.C. on it certainly must have brought back memories for poor old Norman. although it is not as good the previous entry, it isn't that bad either, the score is very good, the cinematography is great, i think this one suffered a little on the plot, this one seems more campy the Psycho 2 but it's not bad either.
