I like that the knife wielding was set up throughout the movie, only for him to go with the shovel at the end. CLONG!
This is as good a take as the guys who rushed to defend Dune by saying that "sci fi isn't supposed to be funny"
I'm still not sure how much of it is Norman Bates setting off my ND-radar and how much of it is ANTHONY PERKINS setting it off, but Perkins did a creditable job either way!
I like how indignant all the cops are in this movie that somebody is harassing KNOWN MURDERER Norman Bates
Aw, Oz makes a cameo as Baby Norman!
But damn, he slips right back into the Normanisms really well. It's impressive
See, this is the problem. Anthony Perkins is such a noodle that Norman's a KNOWN MURDERER who famously went stab-happy, but he's being bullied by drunk dickheads
The movie's trying to show Norman being jumpy about his history with knives, but in the interest of thematic relevance they've set him to chopping lettuce with a bread knife or something? WTF
