VHS Movie Reviews of Psycho 4
Movie Review: Norman Bates joins a talkshow
Summary: 3 Stars
Psycho IV is basically an attempt to squeeze one last movie from the series, and keep the Bates character alive. Norman Bates is listening to a talk show on the radio when they just happen to begin talking about matricide - killing one's mother. They are interviewing a doctor whose career and sphere of expertise deals with the same subject. Norman seems to be a bit irritated with the direction of the show, so he calls in to give his history.
Quickly enough it is discovered that Norman killed his mother, and kept her corpse for the conversational value - basically Weekend at Bernie's with murder. Medically speaking, Norman is a friggin loon, and a danger to society. It's this complete insanity, and the suggestions from his "mother", which led him to being a schizophrenic, cross-dressing, Freudianly jealous, psychopathic killer.
The resot of the movie is a cat and mouse game between the host, the doctor, and Norman, with Norman spilling his past details between massive quantitites of dead-air and awkward silence. Meanwhile, the others attempt to weed through the insanity in order to prevent another murder, which Norman has admitted to planning.
It's not exactly a seamless transition or addition into the Psycho series, and it's nowhere near the original Hitchcock masterpiece, but it's a decent adaptation that's rewatchable because of Anthony Perkins' incredible creepiness and convincing acting.
