Scary and fun, it's as worthy a sequel as one might reasonably expect.

Reviews for Psycho 2
That it's about as chilly a movie as ever delighted the mass market is beside the point, in view of its exuberantly macabre craftsmanship.
08/30/04
Top Critic[It's] a sequel that supports its predecessor instead of diminishes.
12/04/04
It is a craftsman-like piece of filmmaking with a suitably flaky performance by Perkins, but it isn't really a sequel to Psycho. It continues the story, but not the spell.
10/23/04
Top CriticThough far from a worthy successor to the original (but why make impossible demands?) the film clearly could have been much worse.
10/20/08
Top CriticSurprisingly, even after waiting 20 years, they managed to turn out a smart, darkly-comic thriller with some imaginitive twists.
01/01/00
Director Richard Franklin deftly keeps the suspense and tension on high while dolling out dozens of shock-of-recognitions shots drawn from the audience's familiarity with Psycho.
10/20/08
Top CriticThere are one or two effective surprises, but this still feels like the kind of sequel which should have been left alone.
05/24/03
This sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's classic is surprisingly good.
10/20/08
Not a bad sequel at all.
09/09/05
A pretty classy sequel that only becomes silly at the end.
02/02/03
The weakest of the series. Still has its fair share of scares.
