The climax proves thoroughly ridiculous, but by that point you’ve given up on the film anyway.

One could be forgiven for thinking that Polone and the screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker wanted to prank audiences, not actually terrify them. It didn’t work.

2/5

It’s a strange beast in that it’s too straightforward and dumb to work as a crime thriller yet too dull and scare-free to work as a horror, awkwardly falling somewhere in-between.

“Psycho Killer” is clearly assembled from spare parts of every serial killer thriller of the past three decades.

Culture is a mess, and this movie is kind of a mess, but to my eye, it’s a mess that’s messy because it’s reflecting the larger mess. That’s what makes it so fun, and that’s why I want to call dibs on the reclamation essay a few decades from now.

...a relentlessly erratic piece of work that feels like it should be so much better...
