"5.5. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Ei kyllä mitään hajua, mitä pidin viime kerralla. Aikaa on 17 vuotta ja muistan lähinnä, että TV-nauhoitus oli todella huonolaatuinen ja kellarissa tapahtui ehkä jotain. Joten kivasti puhtaalta pöydältä pääsin aloittelemaan. Keskellä kasarin slasher-buumia päätettiin herättää Psyko henkiin mukavasti aikalaisistaan poikkeavalla jatko-osalla. Kerronta on enimmäksern aika hidasta ja sieltä täältä pomppaa mitä ihmeellisenpiä yllätyksiä ja k"

“Not many people would dare to have mused that a sequel to Hitchcock's "Psycho" was needed, but even fewer people could have predicted that such a film would be as good as this one is. In the hands of a lesser director, this could've been a simple slasher film, or a disrespectful re-hash.

" This a top notch sequel, and honestly I even enjoyed it just a little more than the original. It's respectful to it's predecessor while adding plenty of twists, edgier gore and a heftier body count without devolving into blatantly cheap shocks. Clever, classy, creepy and incredibly suspenseful. Hitchcock would've been proud."
