This ain’t your typical slasher flick.
Going in blind, I expected the usual: masked psycho carving up teens. Nope. It’s way more Silence of the Lambs than Halloween. It opens with a seriously creepy, ominous tone—heavy on Satanic imagery—and the killer is genuinely disturbing at first (no spoilers).

But as the movie progresses and we see more of him, he loses that edge and just turns into a nasty, malicious guy. The hero cop’s investigation drags on, my interest fades, and by the end we’re in a bizarre setting that feels like generic cops-and-robbers. The finale is flat and unsatisfying.
Malcolm McDowell (Alex from A Clockwork Orange) shows up in a weird role and brings some welcome levity.

My bladder thanks you so much!! App works great for telling u when and for how long you have a pee break! I didn't use the timer function so the dialog in the movie was a great clue as to when to go. I also liked the info about each movie to know whether there was any extra scenes during or after the credits. Nothing worse than waiting for all the credits and then no extra scene.

It starts strong, but even at just 90 minutes, I was ready for it to be over. Ugh.
Grade: C-
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Psycho Killer.
