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.

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.

The moronic slasher flick Psycho Killer is a cinematic trash dump of plot holes and huge unanswered questions, in this unimaginative story about a highway patrol officer hunting down the serial killer who murdered her husband.

The plot here is so razor-thin, with no characterization, that one wonders if the screenwriter brought the project to David Fincher, who then rejected it, thinking even he couldn’t have done anything exciting, suspenseful, or provocative with it

A misfire that lacks the atmosphere and thoughtfulness of the film that put Seven screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker on the map.

The plot, the acting, the cinematography, the lens focus in parts. All terrible. Even the great Malcolm McDowell is terribly wasted here.
