an interesting change from the first one . there be more mystery to this movie then the first . even when it end your ask yourself what happen who be the killer . there be some good part through the movie and the first half start off slow and then in the last half the pace pick up . all up the movie be enjoyable . the story be 22 year after the event that occur in the first film and norman bates be out of an asylum and back to the bates motel and but when a woman turn up claim to be his real mother and thing start go wrong . perkins play an aged norman well again and the scene at the end be excellent and he swang that spade awfully hard .
