While I loved the original Psycho (despite--or a little even because of--its somewhat campy nature) I was most surprised about how good the sequels were--that is with the exception of Psycho III which lack any subtly in its narrative falling into the genre of 'slasher-flick rather than psychological horror and, really, what was Anthony Perkins thinking with his weird exaggerated portrayal of Norman Bates in that one. The others were interesting though with a look at a man who is trying to overcome his psychosis and the hurdle that he has to overcome (continued blame and distrust, hereditary implication, etc.) One thing the kind of bothered me in all of the sequels though was that they constantly went out of their way to make references to lines or scenes in the original film without any real purpose for doing so. I thought they could have stood on their own without those flimsy supports. Overall it is a highly enjoyable collection.

As a fan of the original, I came in with some expectations. Some of which were exceeded and others fell a little short. The gameplay and nightmarish style is amazing, but the story was a little undercooked. Overall though I think that it was an excellent game.

Night Moves was a gripping film, which became unfortunately so in the end when it just kind of ended...I though I was still only half-way through the film when the credits started rolling and was left kind of unsatisfied--which may sound like a bad thing, but it really sets it up for you to work out your own conclusions. Films tend to try and make things too tidy, it's kind of nice to have a more realistic slice of life which may never get resolved and any attempt by the film maker would have seemed half-hearted.
