Cabin one fever: Three PSYCHO sequels in one package. by deadmilkboy Pros:
PSYCHO II is a delight, PSYCHO III is a grisly but amusing diversion. Cons: PSYCHO IV is a drag, and there's no real bonus features. In 1960, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho< i> proved an audacious and influential suspense film that was widely imitated but never equaled. The legacy of that film was so strong, that the idea of a sequel took an amount of time that may as well have been ...
