A brief discussion/rambling of the 2 movies selected from the themes Hotel Horror & Trashy Thriller I also mentioned the trivia night that was dominated by Brain Damage, the trivia team I'm a part of…
And for day 13 it was hotel horror, and man, you hear that and you...
I, I know that some people, their mind goes right to a certain number of movies, and any of them would've been worthy of watching.
And one movie that I have not seen in 40-plus years, or whenever part four came out of this series was when I watched them all, and I'd have to look up when that happened, but I'm fairly certain it was in the, the early '90s, and that was Psycho II from 1982.
This movie was directed by Richard Franklin, and it stars Anthony Perkins as the great Norman Bates.
Her daughter in the movie, which, uh, sorry, spoiler alert, but that's played by Mer- or Meg Tilly, and her name is Mary.
This movie is like the original Psycho n- but just different.
You know, it's...
I mean, you can't touch the original Psycho.
It, it is what it is, and it is great.
There's no...
I'm...
There, there's no debate on that.
It's, it's a great movie.
When it came it played perfectly.
It exceeded expectations.
It scared people so bad.
And there's twists, there's suspense, and it has so much iconic imagery, photos, music, characters, whatever.
It's iconic, untouchable.
But the second one, in 1982, this was, uh, you know, peak slashers.
So for, uh, the proto-slasher or the pre-slasher or whatever you wanna call Psycho, for its sequel to come out 22 years later is, is pretty impressive.
And, you know, I don't...
I'm, I'm not judging them for bringing it out.
Of course, it deserves to ha- to, to be played out.
