this time around you seem to have more of a slasher type 80's film , meaning that there is a lot of teens, school age kids partying at the motel. with Norman's strict upbringing by his mother, his morals come into play here. Jeff Fahey is playing Norman's assistant in running the motel, a nun who has lost her way stumbles upon the Bates motel, upon seeing her Norman is reminded of Marion Crane, he instantly falls for her. seeing that suitcase with the initials M.C. on it certainly must have brought back memories for poor old Norman. although it is not as good the previous entry, it isn't that bad either, the score is very good, the cinematography is great, i think this one suffered a little on the plot, this one seems more campy the Psycho 2 but it's not bad either.
Psycho III is not better then the first 2. But it is still really good. It stars Anthony Perkins, Diana Scarwid, Jeff Fahey, and Roberta Maxwell.
plot: A nun named Maureen Coyle (Diana Scarwid) accidently murders another nun, so she runs away. She hitchhikes on the road, a guitar player named Duke (Jeff Fahey) picks her up. Later on that night, Duke tries to rape Maureen, but she escapes and walks the rest of the way. Duke needs a job because he needs money to get to LA to become a rock star. He goes to Bates Motel, where the original psycho Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is the manager. Norman makes Duke the assistant manager. Norman goes to the diner and runs into a reporter named Tracy (Roberta Maxwell) who wants to interveiw him about the people he killed. But he sees Maureen with a suitcase with the initials M.C on it. Norman thinks its Marion Crane, the girl he killed in the shower in the original, and she has returned from the grave. So Norman freaks out and leaves. Maureen tries to kill herself in the bathtub while a new killer in the black dress and grey wig wants to kill her, so Norman runs to her aid. He brings her to the hospital. Later on, Norman lets her stay at the motel. And later on girls at the motel start to get killed. Who is it? Has Norman returned to insanity? Is Duke willing to kill to get to LA? Will the reporter kill to get her story? Find out who is behind the black dress and grey wig this time, and rent or buy Psycho III!
This has the basic 80's slasher stuff: nudity, gore, unknown killer, and horny teens. If you like the original Psycho, the 2nd Psycho, or like 80's slashers, rent or buy Psycho III!

I was surprised that many didn't like this sequel, as I thought it was the best sequel and was very well done. Anthony Hopkins did a great acting and directing job in it. The supporting cast also did a fine job. It mixes some good black humor and scares around, with a very creepy score from Carter Burwell. If you haven't seen this "Psycho," you should see it. It still gives me goosebumps when watching it.
Psycho III (1986)
*** (out of 4)
A month after the events from the previous film, Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) is back at his motel when a reporter starts snooping around trying to find out some information on his past. At the same time Norman hires a wannabe rock star (Jeff Fahey) to help out around the motel and he also strikes up a relationship with a young woman (Diana Scarwid) who seems to be just as troubled as he is.
PSYCHO III certainly breaks away from the first two movies in the series. The first two films were mysteries that build up suspense and tension. This film here is a bit different as there's a bit more humor and there's no question that Perkins, working as a director for the first time, goes for more slasher elements. The director said before his death that he didn't really know what he was doing but the film actually turned out to be pretty good.
I've always defended this movie for a number of reasons but the biggest is that the characters are just so wonderful. Once again Perkins is wonderful as Bates as he perfectly nails all those quirky things that make it work. The stutter is one of them and just the nervous tension that you can always pick up about Norman. Then you've got the story of the depressed and confused nun played by Scarwid. The two of them are so wonderful together that it really does sell the love story, which is rare for a horror movie. Even Fahey is a lot of fun as the rocking jerk. Hugh Gillin also makes a return from the previous film as the Sheriff and is a lot of fun.
The horror elements here are a lot stronger than the previous two films and the violence is a bit more graphic. The death scenes are all well-staged but there's no question that Perkins was trying to keep up with the slasher films from the era. The music score is effective and there's no doubt that it's a well-made film. PSYCHO III is a totally different animal than the first two movies but that's okay because in the end it really does work.

I'm not lying, appart from Psycho IV (The concept had died out by then) this is the most underrated Psycho film. And, no matter what anyone says, if you like either Psycho or 1980's horror flix, you should like this. Perkins revises his role and the supporting cast help him along in his ageing role as geeky motel-man "Stormin'" Norman Bates. Mother takes on an even more horrific theme and the madness of Perkins is far more obvious. Perkins directs well and reveals things in a very Hitchcock style, and, even though the Hitch sertainly would NOT approve of this film, I liked it. The comedy ellement is combined with the horror. The spoof of the shower scene left me rolling on the floor (if you can laugh at that sort of thing!). The main problem is the high rating of the film (R in the States and 18 in Britain). The Hitch went through his career taking care of what he showed people, and by this stage in the Bates saga, it was just a see all know all knife flick. 7.5/10 (Not as good as Psycho II) Rated R. Contains scenes of a Sexual Nature, Nudity, Swearing and scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.
Lo sapevi?
- QuizIn an interview with American Movie Classics just before his death, Anthony Perkins admitted he was not up to the task of directing this film, feeling his technical knowledge to be too limited.
- BlooperWhen the reporter Tracy is shown Mrs. Spool's apartment, the manager tells her that the police have already paraded through the apartment. Yet there is mail and a notepad by the phone and magazines with many phone numbers on the covers. It is inconceivable that the police did not take these items in order to get answers to Mrs. Spool's disappearance, especially since one of the phone numbers was for Bates Motel, obviously linking Norman to her.
