Some sequels seem like a sin just by simply imagining one. This could've been one of those, but instead, it's actually a great continuation of a classic story. This is 1983's Psycho II.

From IMDb:
It's 22 years later. And Norman Bates is coming home. After being judged as "legally sane" in a court of law, Norman Bates is released from a mental institution, against the protests of Lila Loomis (the sister of Marion Crane). Upon his return to his home (and the motel which lays in its shadow) Norman strikes up a friendship with Mary, a waitress at a local diner. Just as he tries to adjust back to normality, the murders around the site of the Bates Motel. Has Mrs. Bates returned to pull Norman's strings again, or is the bloodbath someone else's handy work?
MY THOUGHTS:
The original is a bonafide, hands down, classic in all regards. It didn't need a sequel. But it got one. And it's damn good.
