This review is from: Psycho 4 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Psycho IV- The Beginning explores both the past and future of Norman Bates. It starts off when the cured Norman Bates calls into his favorite radio station to discuss the nights topic, which happens to be matricide. He starts to tell his life story and past experiences with his mother to the radio talk show host- We get to learn more about Norman's mother and the way she treated him before he killed her. We get to see what went on before he killed his mother and why he did it. Norman is no longer under the control of his mother and has now fallen in love with a woman. She is pregnant and he dosent want to have a baby for fear of passing along his blood line. Then comes the suprising ending. Excellent acting by all. Great end to the series. The young Norman ( Henry Thomas) was also perfect for the role. You should definetly get this if you are a fan of the previous chapters or are looking to complete your collection. Highly Recomended.

This review is from: Psycho 4 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This made for T.V.movie shows us just how Norman Bates(Anthony Perkins)become a killer.While listening to a talk radio show whose topic is "Why boys kill their mothers"?After hearing some of the people,Norman deiceds to call in and talk about his experinces with his mother growing up as a teenager and what led to Norman killing his mother.We also find out that Norman as a wife and that's she pregant and Norman is so scared that the baby will grow-up to be just like him.This was the last time we would see Anthony Perkins play his most famous character of all time.Psycho 4 is alittle bit better then the 3rd one but of course not as good as the first one.

ok so they have done a decent job releasing the PSYCHO films on DVD thus far..

we've got a GREAT version of the original, a pretty groovy version of the remake, a GOODTIMES DVD version of part II but it's full screen and a decent release of III hey at least it's widescreen.

but alas no PART 4.. even if it's a bare bones film only version I really would like to complete my psycho collection...

COME ON MOVIE COMPANY PEEPS!

Part two
