Johnnie Wallyraven: This movie, I thought was just making fun of the original. I had some likes and dislikes so I give it a middle ways score !!!

Robert Haynes: Why on earth bother? Colourise the original - A 60's film like PSYCHO does not ... NOT work as a shot for shot remake for a jaded 90's audience - the film looks laughable - from the CAMP CRAPPY opening credits through to the long winded explanation of Multiple personality disorder at the end - horrible film - turkey of the year anyone ??? Oh and I hope Ann Heche never kept her wardrobe from the film - YEEEESH !!!

Pieter Nel: It was quite ok, but I saw a movie from the sixties that was the same. I did think this one was quite kief.
