Some 20 years after Alfred Hitchcock released the thriller PSYCHO, they finally decided to make a sequel to it. It's been 22 years since the events of PSYCHO and Norman Bates has just been released from psychiatric care, apparently cured from his mental illness. However the sister of one of his victims Lila Crane-Loomis is outraged and swears revenge. Norman is returned home to his motel, only to make another enemy when he fires Mr. Toomey who'd been hired by the hospital and had been running the place as an "adult" motel. Norman begins to adjust back to normal life and even takes on a permanent lodger, a young girl called Mary Samuels who works at the local diner. But things start to go peculiar when he starts receiving phone calls and notes from his dead mother.
His therapist doctor Raymond does some investigating and finds that Lila is behind the malicious calls, but when she and Mr. Toomey both vanish, apparently the victims of a mysterious old lady wielding a knife, we see that something else is amiss. Questions are also raised as to whether the late Mrs Bates was actually Norman's real mother.
Norman's guest Mary is also not who she seems as she is the daughter to Lila and is also drive Norman to insanity again, you also find out who Norman's real mother is!
This film starred: Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles & Meg Tilley
In my opinion I think that this film is better than the original. I was not a fan of the first film, however I am a fan of this film. The director took a massive risk in directing this as it could have been a massive failure, however it was a enjoyable film IN MY OPINION.
***/***** Good film.
