Keith's Horror Show Episode 10: Psycho franchise ranking

One more after this one and we are done until Halloween. 5th: Psycho (1998) - A shot for shot remake with no soul of it's own, it's awful frankly. 4th: Psycho IV: The Beginning - It's not very good, has some okay ideas here and there but fails at all of them, it's a mediocre film at best and at worst genuinely the worst of this franchise, but for doing something new and not re-using ideas, it's ranked higher than Psycho '98. 3rd: Psycho III: Actually has some decent ideas here and there like the nun character, but fails to be much more than a mediocre slasher film. It's not bad, and again had some cool ideas, but it's mostly all in service of a really mediocre slasher film. 2nd: Psycho - The original Alfred Hitchcock classic goes here at number 2 on my list, it's a classic for a reason but aside from the shower scene and the iconic ending, it's just a fine movie overall. Hugely influential for the time of 1960, but not a movie I go back to often. However it's still very solid with good performances, amazing direction and a great ending like I mentioned before. 1st: Psycho II - The best of the franchise by far, it's the most interesting movie, with tons of plot twists, fantastic characters and some of the greatest moments in the entire franchise, it's a top tier slasher film for me, and it'll be high on my halloween list. Please watch this movie if you haven't, especially if you've seen the original Psycho but not this one, it is genuinely worth your time and a fantastic psychological thriller. And with Psycho down we now have 1 franchise left to go, ALMOST DONE THANK GOD Franchises Done: Halloween, Cube, Hellraiser, Children of the Corn, Friday the 13th, Scream, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, Psycho Franchises to go: Silence of the Lambs
