Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
That it's about as chilly a movie as ever delighted the mass market is beside the point, in view of its exuberantly macabre craftsmanship.
– Vincent Canby,

rotten:
It is a craftsman-like piece of filmmaking with a suitably flaky performance by Perkins, but it isn't really a sequel to Psycho. It continues the story, but not the spell.
– Roger Ebert,

fresh:
Scary and fun, it's as worthy a sequel as one might reasonably expect.

rotten:
Though far from a worthy successor to the original (but why make impossible demands?) the film clearly could have been much worse.
– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Director Richard Franklin deftly keeps the suspense and tension on high while dolling out dozens of shock-of-recognitions shots drawn from the audience's familiarity with Psycho.
