Anthony Perkins directs himself, Diana Scarwid and Jeff Fahey in this Norman goes berserk gorefest.

Trashy and unhinged, this traipses back over Hitch’s shots and concepts but with a brutish force, zero censorship and full colour. It makes for a gory, daft rehash of the original… not nearly as playful as Psycho II. Perkins is still loveable as disturbed Norman and his direction allows himself to go full throttle with the familiar ticks and some sexually fluid imagery.
