    Perfectly awful. But perfect in its own way

    It's awful, horrid, terrible.

    I would recommend it to anyone I know.

    It is just so perfectly awful. The soundtrack was obviously done on a $19.95 Casio by a one armed musician. This film's appeal can be compared to that of "Toxic Avenger", another New Jersey homespun tale.

    Its caring details make it a caricature of itself and of horror films in general. It's funny. It's awful. It's awfully funny.

    And if you groaned even a little at that last joke, see this film.... if you can find it.

    Where Scarymovie began

    Psychos in Love is a riot to watch. You can tell these people were having a good time making this movie. Of course, with a budget of only 70K, you'd better be having fun. This isn't REALLY a slasher film -- think Little Shop of Horrors- not REALLY a musical but a great parody of the genre! Some of the best moments in the film are good old fashioned improv. Partner that with gallons of fake blood, hysterical writing and you've got yourself a memorable Saturday night. I would suggest watching this one in a series of B-movies with some unsuspecting friends- play "pick the parody". Try not to become too addicted to reciting the best lines in the movie. I wont ruin it for you- you'll know it when it happens!

    Bizarre, but enjoyable!

    While it's far from a good movie, and it doesn't have anything to do with real horror other than giving homage to it, "Psychos in Love" is self aware comedy about two psychos who fall in love because of their hate for grapes and love for killing. Given the theme, I think this movie can't be better in it's portrayal. There are constant breaking's of the fourth wall and dumb gags which fit perfectly with the cast who obviously enjoyed making the movie. There is also a lot of blood and boobs. With that in mind, it's obvious that the movie is doomed to forever remain a mediocre one, because story is pretty much just series of gags and killings. And as much as that can be fun and interesting, it screams for a better story and even more humorous scenes. Still, if all this sounds cool, it's a good fun and a perfect movie for a date night with you nicer horror movie loving half. I give it 6.5./10! It's fun and deserves to be seen by every horror movie fan at least once in their lifetime.

    A genuine one-off and unforgettable

    I have only seen this film once, and a few years back at that, in an imperfect video pirate copy (it is very hard to see at all, let alone uncut in the UK), but have never forgotten it. That's a hell of a lot more than I can say about many other films.

    It's a brave perhaps prematurely postmodern, film, one which takes risks with taste and art as well as the audience's genre expectations - but which succeeds triumphantly. Wes 'Scream' Craven cold take some tips from a film which wears its self consciousness so lightly and its irony so affectingly!

    What could easily have been forgettable trash actually transcends its origins to become something memorable and witty, commenting on the genre as well as confronting what is meant by 'good taste'. Despite every handicap Psychos in Love rises above its origins to become a deserved and disturbing cult classic whose reputation will grow and grow... a Z grade classic!

    Cult classic

    Pure genius. I can't recommend this film enough. Rent this movie and start laughing. A film about 2 serial killers that fall in love. The soundtrack was done on a Casio and the acting is amateur. This is what B movies are all about.

      Joe: I hate grapes! I can't stand grapes! I loathe grapes! All kinds of grapes! I hate purple grapes! I hate green grapes! I hate grapes with seeds! I hate grapes without seeds! I hate them peeled and non-peeled! I hate grapes in bunches, one at a time, or in groups of twos and threes! I fucking hate grapes!
