IGN DVD - 7/10 by R. L. ShafferA terrific, but way too brief, examination of the franchise, but this would have made a much better special feature than a full fledged DVD release.

User Review - 8/10 by Jay BA glorious look at the franchise that introduced the masses to Perkins' brilliant portrayal of Norman Bates. While the first flick is the one that EVERYBODY gives a shit about, it's brilliant sequel and subsequent entries get their fair share of coverage here as well. Learn all there is to know about the legendary Psycho films.
User Review - 8/10 by Carl MNo film in classic Horror is more notorious than Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO. Likewise, no set of sequels are more notoriously overlooked, grossly underrated, and sickeningly scorned in their bare-bones video releases than the PSYCHO-sequels. Thankfully, writer/director Robert V. Galluzzo has set out to create the definitive documentary on the series by compiling years of behind-the-scenes photos and press cards with an extraordinary number of interviews, including such esteemed filmmakers as Tom Holland, David Schow, Adam Green, Stuart Gordon, Mick Garris, and countless others (many of whom have been intimately attached to the films). While Galluzzo falls just short of his ultimate goal, THE PSYCHO LEGACY does pull together an excellent assortment of entertaining stories, revealing facts, and reflections on all four entries, many of which have never been shared in the past. Rare footage of the late Anthony Perkins is also integrated into the feature, along with past interviews with co-stars Vera Miles and Janet Leigh. For the most part, the conversations are topical and are spliced together smoothly between interviewees, although the questionable choices in editing and computerized transitions cause minor distractions. In addition to the standard runtime, the Shout Factory! 2-disc release includes over 3-hours of bonus material, featuring Anthony Perkins' unedited panel discussion and footage from a recent PSYCHO cast reunion. THE PSYCHO LEGACY is an essential addition to any fan's collection that finally bridges the gaps left by the Universal releases.
User Review - 6/10 by D MA documentary filled with interviews of actors in and fans of the Psycho series. The documentary spends about 20 mins on the original Psycho film (the only one I know), and didn't get into enough of how Hitchcock worked. The documentary didn't make me want to go out and watch the rest of the series. I am surprised the original actor stuck through with the film series in one way or another until its 1990s made-for-TV finale. I guess it'd be better if I'd seen more of these movies.
User Review - 6/10 by Wes SSomewhat amaturish and way too brief (Psycho is only covered for the first 20 minutes) it's still is a nice love letter to fans of the series and mentions a few stories I had never heard before. Nowhere as comprehensive as His Name Was Jason or Never Sleep Again but overall it's not bad.
User Review - 6/10 by James Ta really good document about a great film

User Review - 6/10 by Donnie MThis was insightful but kind of a let down. I enjoyed it but it just felt like a lot was left out. I guess after the Elm Street Documentary nothing will live up to expectations.
