    "Eating Raoul" it's not ....... or is it ?

    This is essentially a one joke movie. The catchy theme song "Psychos in Love" will stay in your head long after the film is forgotten. The killings are not creative enough and seem overly repetitive with the numerous slashings. The script is padded with Woody Allen type talking to the audience interludes, and overly talky scenes that do nothing to advance the story. "Psychos in Love" comes across as either a sincere homage to "Eating Raoul" or a total ripoff. Similarities abound, same squeeze toy squeaked by Robert Beltran, the frying pan bop on the head, reading outrageous newspaper headlines, and a plumber who wants the bodies for his own secret purpose. - MERK

    Funny, fairy-tale for psychopaths.

    Psychos in Love is one of those fun low-calorie movies made for people who love b-movies. The fun part is watching the two leads interact with each other, as they definitely have chemistry together. If you don't like one joke, wait a few seconds, and another will come along. Wasn't made as a think-piece, obviously, and it wasn't made to dazzle anyone with it's technical brilliance. It is what it is, a silly comedy with some outstanding moments.

    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.

    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.

    The best movie Troma never made!

    Ok, PSYCHOS IN LOVE is pure unadulterated silliness from start to finish. Not a moment of it is to be taken seriously and anyone who does take it seriously should seriously have their head examined. It plays out very much like a poor man's Troma film (if that's possible!) replete with lots of unconvincing gore and T & a shots. The two lead actors are a hoot and do their job very well. I especially liked Kate's character and how they made her up to look like Molly Ringwald. Plot is fairly simple: Two mad slashers meet, find they share a similar hatred for grapes (!!) and before you know it, they're headed for the altar! Amidst the romancing and killing, a cannibal plumber named Herman is on the loose. The sub-plot involving the cannibalistic plumber doesn't go far but then, you aren't watching PSYCHOS IN LOVE for depth and characterization. Herman comes to fix the psychopathic newlyweds sink, finds out they are killers, blackmails them and then. I had a fun time watching this thing. The jokes are extremely dark and subtle, and are almost always dead on. A real gem in a long line of slapstick comedy-horror. Recommended for connoisseurs of all things cheap and stupid.

      At the first death in the movie, girl's nose bleed, but she was being strangled, so there should be no blood.

      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!
