Psycho IV: The Beginning (1990)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Mick Garris
Cast: Anthony Perkins, Henry Thomas, Olivia Hussey, CCH Pounder 
Running Time: 96 minutes

 


Norman Bates has again been rehabilitated and he is a married with a psychiatrist called Connie, who is expecting a child from him. Worried that his future child will inherit his mental illness, Norman calls in a radio talk show discussing matricide to discuss his past and to verbalize his plan to kill again.

This film serves as both a prequel and a sequel. We find out what led to Norman Bates becoming a killer and we also see where he is later in life. As such, it is not without merit, but the script is weak and the acting performances are very uneven.
