As it turned out, the long period of time between the two films was ideal for presenting the idea of Norman being pronounced "cured" and released after a lengthy confinement, while the older Anthony Perkins slipped back perfectly into the role and we got to see Norman trying to fit back into his old life (a little too well, as it turned out). I enjoyed the movie, but the revelation that comes about halfway through, concerning Meg Tilly's character, spoiled it for me to a great extent. Great ending, though! My favorite of the sequels would have to be PSYCHO III ("for older dogs.") It was pretty bizarre and I thought Perkins as director did a great job. I liked the story all the way through this time, and it also had a pretty cool ending. Legend, oh legend, the third wheel legend...always in the way.

I felt like it was a stronger movie all the way through. I wasn't a huge fan of Diana Scarwid's clueless character, and the third one was rather bizarre at times (that can be both good and bad in my opinion). Both movies finished well with suspenseful, dramatic endings. But I felt that Pyscho II 's unexpected dramatic end flowed even better with the rest of the movie. Pyscho III 's end did provide more closure though, but that's mainly because it had the benefit of coming afterwards. So all in all, I would give the nod to Psycho II
