Audience Says

Despite its promising title and notable creative team, Psycho Killer ultimately lands with a thud.

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.

Even for a nuts-and-bolts slasher, Psycho Killer is some thin gruel, some watery tea, some bloody weak sauce.

2/10

A lifeless thriller that wastes its premise with flat characters, weak tension, and a payoff that feels utterly pointless.

Psycho Killer shows some kinship between the psychos and the killers: Both types of movies can be insultingly, irretrievably stupid.

I think the plot of this movie is very random but also very good . If you like a movie with random plot and a good wth in between. This is the route to go.

The best part of the movie was the beginning and it went downhill from there. Definitely not what I thought it would be. Corny and disappointing

Some good jump scares, dark humor, and decent gore with an interesting structure (bouncing back and forth between protagonist POV and killer POV). The third act twist may put some people off, but I was surprisingly down for how bizarre it was and what it implied.

It was surprisingly good and several scenes that legitimately had me squirming in my seat. Would recommend it to everyone!
