Psycho III
Norman Bates is back to normal. But mother's off her rocker again.
Directed by Anthony Perkins
Produced by Universal Pictures
A dark, gore-laden slasher sequel that exploits mental illness and trauma for shock value, centered on Norman Bates' fractured psyche and violent compulsions.
When Maureen Coyle, a suicidal nun who resembles Norman's former victim, Marion Crane, arrives at the motel, all bets are off and "Mother" is less than happy.
