[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 296499, member: 23"] Yes. I was pleasantly surprised not to hate it. Expectations were very low and you're not wrong that they were squeezing the franchise at this point. I suppose I made a few mental adjustments due to the fact that: [LIST=1] [*]It's a TV movie [*]It's a third sequel [*]I really didn't like it on my previous viewing [/LIST] Mentally, I probably half viewed it as a standard slasher sequel rather than comparing it with [I]Psycho[/I], and that helped too. It's not a great film by any means, nor would I call it art or fall over myself to recommend it to anyone. But it's also a long way from the worst film experiences I've had. I'm open to watching it one day, but in general I worry about how series like[I] Bates Motel[/I] or [I]Hannibal[/I] would somehow foul the nest (which is admittedly slightly odd considering I've just watched all three [I]Psycho[/I] sequels).
