The 5 ‘Psycho’ Films From Worst To Best!!!

The season finale of A&E’s “Bates Motel” airs tonight, so I figured I’d take a look back at the film that spawned it, Psycho, and the modest film franchise that followed.

Most of these movies were holding up fairly well in my memory except for Psycho 2 and Psycho 3, so I re-watched those over the weekend and was actually fairly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. When you think about it, the Psycho universe certainly has more solid installments than something like the Howling franchise, which is kind of neat. It’s just a bummer that the mythology of Norman Bates and the Bates Motel doesn’t really lend itself to much scrutiny (the minimal use of this stuff is part of what makes the original film so brilliant).

How Much Would ‘Psycho’s’ Bates Motel Sell For?

With A&E’s “Bates Motel” now airing Monday nights, Movoto’s regular readers were apparently thinking about the middle-of-nowhere deathtrap known as the Bates Motel. They wanted to know how much it would cost to purchase the creepy motel from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho and set up shop.

Their best guess is that the original Bates Motel from the Alfred Hitchcock movie would cost evil investors just over $800,000 if it were placed on the market today. Why is the price so low? There are two reasons. “First, Norman Bates’s murder shack is located in an out-of-the-way location, which is good for killing weary travelers, but not so great for tourists. The second—and probably biggest—factor is that the motel is relatively tiny. Afterall, it is a mom and son business.” Says the writer, “If you want to know how I figured it out, lock your doors and conveniently forget to shower.” READ MORE

Mother’s Day is upon us and, perhaps more than any other holiday, you’re going to need some movie suggestions. After all, Mom wants to hang out, right? And instead of going the obvious route for Mother’s Day and showing her… Mother’s Day, you want to remind her that you’ve got some semblance of originality. Showing her Mother’s Day is sort of like ordering her an E-card that morning, it shows you’re not putting too much thought into it.

We’ve got some choice recommendations here. From the old (Psycho, you’ll find out inside) to the new (Mama, which just came out today on Blu-ray/DVD), there’s something in here for everyone.

I still havent’ gotten around to A&E’s premiere episode of “Bates Motel,” yet (I was pulled away from it right as I was starting) so I’m going to have to take the official word on this one.

“For those that are still catching up on the series Norman Bates discovers a sketchbook hidden underneath the carpeting in one of the rooms at the Bates Motel. Inside, he finds Chinese writing and manga sketches, immediately becoming captivated by the drawings. Norman, along with his classmate and friend Emma Decody, begin to dig deeper into the story behind the sketches and stumble upon a bigger mystery than either of them could have imagined. As the season unfolds, more characters from the manga are introduced and more secrets exposed; this book is the story of one of those characters.”

I was a huge fan of A&E’s premiere episode of “Bates Motel,” which has since gone online here for those who missed it.

In episode 1.01, “First You Dream, Then You Die,” “After the tragic death of her husband, Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga) buys a motel on the outskirts of an idyllic coastal town seeking a fresh start. Her handsome and shy teenage son Norman (Freddie Highmore) quickly catches the eyes of the local girls, much to his mother’s horror. Norma and Norman soon discover the idyllic town isn’t what it seems.”

We now have a stack of images from episode 1.02, “Nice Town You Picked, Norma.” In the episode, Dylan immediately begins causing trouble; the Bates are drawn into the secrets surrounding White Pine Bay.

So far a major thumbs up. It took me 3 episodes to really get behind “American Horror Story,” which has since become my favorite show. The fact this impressed after only one is eyebrow raising. READ MORE

Freddie Highmore stars as Norman Bates in “Bates Motel,” the Psycho prequel from “Lost”‘s Carlton Cuse and “Friday Night Lights”‘ Kerry Ehrin. The series will explore Norman’s back story that helped forge the infamous serial killer. After relocating to a new town, Norman will be tasked with navigating the social land mine that comes with being the new kid at a local high school. His mother, Norma Bates, will be played by Vera Farmiga (The Departed, Up In The Air, The Conjuring).

I’m not entirely sold on the idea of this being a modern day show, complete with iPhones and Norman being a fan of Manga (apparently), but I’ll give it a shot! Meanwhile this teaser (via EW) tells us next to nothing – except that Norman (or Norma?) will probably at least handcuff one woman to a sink before disposing of her.

Max Thieriot, Nestor Carbonell, Mike Vogel, Nicola Pletz and Olivia Cooke also star. A&E is currently filming the series in Vancouver, for an early 2013 premiere.

If you wanted to know what Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) and his mother Norma (Vera Farmiga) will look like in the upcoming “Bates Motel”, then today’s your lucky day. Here they are, talking about something totally healthy I’m sure with the iconic Psycho house in the background and the titular motel offscreen to their left. EW scored the pic. I actually think this could be pretty good, Farmiga is always interesting so I’m definitely curious about the possibilities.

The series examines the twisted relationship between serial-killer-to-be Norman (Freddie Highmore) and his mother Norma (Vera Varmiga). ““Bates Motel” will give viewers an intimate understanding of how Norman Bates’ psyche developed from his childhood through his teen years. Fans will have access to the dark, twisted backstory and learn firsthand how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged Norman, helping forge the most well-known serial killing motel owner in history.”
