The idea of doing a sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Pyscho" is not a stupid idea. Doing a shot for shot remake of the original is a stupid idea. But the idea of Norman Bates coming home 22 years later having been declared cured and released from the mental institution where we assume he never even hurt a fly during all that time, is certainly an interesting idea. The only other character it would be interesting to see when they got back out and tried to pick up where they left off from would be Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and that is never go to happen (I have dibs on the first draft).
Anyhow, Norman has been released and is working at a local diner in town, where he makes friends with Mary Samuels (Meg Tilly), a young waitress. But Lila Loomis (Vera Miles), the sister of Marion Crane, who was murdered in the shower long ago, is not happy that Norman is out and about. She predicts nothing good can come of his release and sure enough Norman starts finding notes from his mother at work and sees her sitting in the window of the Bates mansion. Then people around town start dying and everyone is looking at Norman, who insists he is not killing anybody. After all, he is cured.
Director Richard Franklin ("Road Games") and writer Tom Holland ("Class of 1984") seem fully aware of what can happen to those who try to ride the coattails of a classic horror film, because "Psycho II" is a fairly intelligent script. The key is that our sympathies are with Norman Bates. After all, we know from the first film that he really was nuts and that it was "Mother" who did the killing. If she is gone, then he deserves a break and for one of the few times in a splatter flick we are hoping that the original psychotic mass murderer did not do it.

This was truly a great film, a very special sequel indeed.
No sequel will ever beat Hitchcock's shocker but Psycho 2 almost did.
The idea of the film is good, we see Norman bates returning to the Bate's Motel after 22 years but soon after he returns bodies start to pile up again could this mean that the evil is back.
The Film also has one of those endings were you know there is going to be a sequel.
See it, it is really great.

22 years after the murderous and maniacal events at Bates Motel, Norman Bates, freshly released from a mental institution, is back home; and the spectre of ”Mother” is waiting to greet him.

We could say it was a cynical attempt at latching onto the coat tails of the 1980s slasher boom, but in spite of having the unenviable task of being a sequel to a masterpiece, Psycho II is a rather nifty sequel.

Director Richard Franklin is helped by having Anthony Perkins and Vera Miles heading up the cast list, this gives the film instant credibility, and while the mighty spectre of Hitchcock looms large, Franklin doesn’t copy the maestro and brings his own visual smarts to the piece.

Tom Holland’s screenplay doesn’t mimic either, expanding the Bates story with a series of quality twists whilst keeping the mystery element strong and the gripping factor on the high heat. Dean Cundey (cinematography) and Jerry Goldsmith (music) round out the strong points of the film’s tech credits.

Not to be dismissed as a lazy cash in, this is well worth a look. Great ending as well! 7/10

Now declared legally sane, Norman Bates is released from a mental institution after spending 22 years in confinement over the protests of Marion Crane's sister Lila Loomis.

She insists that he's still a killer and that the court's indifference to his victims by releasing him is a gross miscarriage of justice.

Norman returns to his motel and the old Victorian mansion where his troubles started, and history predictably begins to repeat itself.....

It sounded like such a silly idea at the time. Release a belated sequel to one of the finest movies ever made. Blatant cash in? It was like having a straight to DVD sequel to The Sixth Sense.

But hey, the film works brilliantly, and as a standalone film, its solid.

Yes the opening scene does feature the shower sequence, which is a little concerning, but Perkins puts in an amazing performance as the tortured Bates.

But it's the twists and turns of the movie that really holds attention. If this was made now, it'd go straight for the gore factor, and have some nameless person playing Normans son, going on a rampage.

But the makers have gone step beyond the appreciation factor, by having a very feasible narrative that compliments the first movie.

Fuse camera-work is wonderful here, and the last shot of Perkins standing outside the house, is beautifully sinister.

It takes a couple of viewings to really get the jist of the complex plot, but all in all, it was worth the long wait.

22 years is a long time to wait for a sequel to Hitchcock's classic. It's not in the same league but as sequels go, it's a damn fine movie. It's great to see Perkins back as our favourite tragic psycho and Meg Till is also very good. After 30 years, it's obvious it was shot on a low budget (for a major studio anyway) but it's well written and directed and Jerry Goldsmith's score is not a slavish follow on to Herrmann's original.
