My rating: 6/10

Will I watch it again? No.

What a great opportunity that just misses the mark.  It's not all that bad.  Perkins is a great choice for the lead role but he's sometimes over doing it.  To make it worse the crooked, tilted camera angles, colored lighting and makeup on Perkins takes his performance even further, and more campy than it needs to be.  It would have been great if they had taken this more seriously than go for the camp horror.  I REALLY dig Anthony Perkins and I was really excited to see this...until I saw it.  Now I'm just disappointed. Nice ending, though.
