2013 marks the 30th Anniversary of this UNDERRATED sequel. The reviews were mixed in 1983 and lets face it The Critics had their knives ready when Universal Released this film. I was 16 when the film was released. By then had seen the original lots of times. Now again this was 1983. Every 16 year old teenage boy was waiting for "Return of the Jedi" however I was waiting for this film and when I saw this film "I loved then" and I still love it today.
Now this film doesn't cheat the audience one bit. Everything that is talked about can be traced back to the original. No liberty was taken with the timeline and every characters action seem plausible. . (Spoiler Alert)
Now when Meg Tilly shows up a Norman's life I knew she was trouble. I knew that she was using the same alternate name as Janet Leigh's characters did in the original,
What I truly loved about this film was that it only used the name "Psycho II" it doesn't have anything with the book "Paycho II". Had the producers used the book then (Spoiler Alert) then the character of Norman Bates would only been in maybe 5 scenes.
Now if you have never seen this film then rent it and make part of a double feature night. Watch it along with the original. You will have a blast.
