| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI have to admit, it's a pretty good twist. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonWhile traveling along similar lines as Psycho, director William Castle and scripter Robb White manage to include enough originality that the shock ending still has the power to catch many viewers off guard. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonThe plot's soon dawdling, a stuffy, overheated theatricality creeping in ... No pulpish curiosity but a mere footnote in the post-Psycho history of slasher movies. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThere never was a Psycho knock-off quite as overt about it, yet at the same time as creative and effective in its own right, |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeClassic Castle exploitation rip-off of Psycho |
| User ReviewJacynthe LI saw Homicidal for the first time yesterday. At first I was skeptical of it. I wasn't sure what it was about, and I had never heard of it before. But from the first time I saw the picture of Warren given to his sister by him, I knew I would love it. You can't go wrong when one of the characters gives out 8 X 10 signed glossies of himself to people, especially his sister. There were a few moments when I couldn't control my laughter because of that hilarious picture though. And in a theatre full of people, that's not so good. I loved the plot twist at the end. I definitely was not expecting that. All in all, this is now my new favorite movie. |
