The DVD says:

Anthony Perkins recreates his most famous role and makes his directorial debut in this second sequel to Alfred Hitchcock's legendary thriller, which picks up right where Psycho II left off. Once again, the Bates Motel is the site of some nasty doings as the rehabilitated psychopath, Norman Bates (Perkins), attempts to help a disturbed young woman (Diana Scarwid) and a guitar-playing drifter while trying to divert a nosy reporter's suspicions away from Mother. According to The Time Out Film Guide, "Perkins gives another superb exhibition of controlled hysteria, with the fetching hint of a macabre wink lurking in the background." Equal parts suspense, terror, and black comedy worthy of the Master himself, this gory and shocking sequel was written by Charles Edward Pogue (The Fly), and co-stars Jeff Fahey.

My Opinion:

Again it's not as good as the original and this one isn't as good as the previous sequel. Still it's an enjoyable story, as you wait for Norman to go over the edge and go back to his killing ways. The DVD is lacking in lots of extras, but comes in widescreen unlike the Psycho II disk.
