Made more than 20 years after one of the most iconic and influential horror films of all time, this rare legacy sequel carves out a chilling identity of its own. Anthony Perkins returns as the ultimate mama’s boy, Norman Bates, newly released from psychiatric care and back at the Bates Motel, where he seems to be settling into a normal life with the help of a kind-hearted waitress (Meg Tilly). But when bodies begin to pile up, all eyes turn to Norman. A sequel that genuinely lives up to its predecessor, PSYCHO II blends dark humor with Hitchcockian suspense and tension, adding a bloodier, more unvarnished ’80s-slasher sensibility to the sinister Bates legacy. Vera Miles, Robert Loggia and Dennis Franz also star.
