Psycho is a classic. I dont think people even in the 80s asked for a sequel but sometimes it's well worth it. Psycho 2 should definitely be more recognized because it's a worthy snd fascinating movie that continues the original story. The mystery,atmosphere and Norman himself are all fantastic.
Psycho 2 follows Norman as he leaves tge mental hospital and goes back home to live his life again. As he restarts his life Lila crane works to send him back to the institution and a woman named Mary befriends him. That's when the murders start again. Will he succumb to his madness again or will he be able to live a happy life ?
What I like about the story is that it builds on Norman's character while flushing out the world around him. When he gets back home he really wants to do his best but the world around him only sees the killer. Some want him gone and others have other purposes. The story takes the ending of the original and makes an interesting look at mental health and the stigma of the past.
The characters are very interesting in the sequel. I even enjoy them more than the characters in the original. Norman and Mary were definitely the favorites. They had a fascinating relationship. Norman trying to be good while Mary hides a secret that could send him into a spiral to insanity. Their scenes together were my favorite parts of the movie. I also like what they did with Lila cranes character.
The atmosphere was great too. The bates motel especially the scenes where Mary and Norman were being watched was tense. The shower scene wasn't as bloody here but I loved that it kept you wondering what would happen. That ending is deliciously dark as well. Along with the soundtrack it is a bright spot of the movie.
The movie looks good. The bates motel, how the tense scenes were shot and that last scene. Everything looked fantastic and had an air of mystery that kept you wondering all the way through.
Psycho 2 is an underrated sequel to a masterpiece. It builds on the story perfectly, has a interesting mystery and fascinating characters. I wish this one was more seen.
