Unauthorized followup to what might be Hitchcock's most overrated thriller. The project inspires Australian filmmaker Richard Franklin to do a sort of fitful impersonation of The Master. But, except for an isolated moment or two, it hasn't inspired him to any great heights, unless you count the literal overhead shots above the rooftop or down the staircase of that Addams Family haunted house that was already outdated twenty-odd years earlier. Anthony Perkins doesn't disgrace himself or his memory in a reprise of the Norman Bates role, but he has a tricky time steering around the cumbersome plotting and suspense-building: every kitchen knife mocks him, beckons him. With Vera Miles, Meg Tilly, and Robert Loggia. (1983) — Duncan Shepherd
