Psychos in Love Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Leofwine_draca PSYCHOS IN LOVE is a grossly unfunny indie comedy horror film of the 1980s. The plot literally has a male and female serial killer meeting up and falling in love. It's cheap and stupid throughout, with excruciating mannered tongue-in-cheek acting from beginning to end and plentiful gags which simply aren't funny. The first half of the film is one riff on the PSYCHO shower scene after another, with copious topless nudity from briefly-seen female starlets and tomato ketchup spraying all over the place. Later, cheesy gore effects are the order of the day, and they're pretty stupid. The only thing I can commend about this is the excellent high-definition presentation by Vinegar Syndrome.
Woodyanders Bar owner Joe (a likable performance by Carmine Capobianco, who also co-wrote the script and composed the score) and manicurist Kate (winingly played by adorable redhead cutie Debi Thibeault) find true love with each other. They share a mutual affinity for killing random strangers and a vehement disdain for grapes. Joe and Kate get married and continue to bump folks off together. Director/co-writer Gorman Bechard whips up a blithely depraved, yet bouncy and silly tongue-in-cheek black comedy romp that benefits tremendously from its gleefully sick tone, outrageously excessive over-the-top splatter, plentiful tasty female nudity, and the funny and strangely endearing central romance between the two engagingly quirky main characters. Capobianco and Thibeault display an utterly appealing off-center chemistry as our lovably unhinged protagonists; they even sing the priceless cute'n'catchy theme song during a hysterical cornball music montage sequence. Moreover, there are nifty supporting contributions by Frank Stewart as deranged cannibal plumber Herman and Donna Davidge as shrill and whiny bored stiff motormouth Heather. As an added substantial bonus, the gorgeous Cecilia Wilde struts her smoking hot stuff as sexy stripper Nikki while Ruth Collins, LeeAnn Baker, luscious "Penthouse" Pet Angela Nicholas, and Patti Chambers all bare their beautiful bodies. The admittedly gross and twisted gallows humor is made both amusing and tolerable by being presented in a disarmingly casual and playful manner. Bechard's crude cinematography, the tacky make-up f/x, several choice gags about breaking through the fourth wall (for example, the boom mike purposefully dips into the frame at one point!), and Capobianco's cheesy synthesizer score all further enhance the movie's considerable lopsided charm. A total off-the-wall riot.
C G This movie appears to be a weekend project that the team did in their spare time. It was recommended to me by some friends in college and I did enjoy it.The title of the movie explains the plot, and there's really not much more depth to it. It is like a very unsophisticated and non-musical Sweeny Todd. Definitely in the genre of Scary Movie, but not a spoof on other movies, it basically spoofs itself.Technically the movie really is pretty lame. Nothing to write to mama about with regards to cinematography, sound, editing. Though the performances were pretty good, over the top and over acted, but fits the style of the movie well.I would recommend this if you are with a bunch of friends, looking for something to ridicule. Having a few brews would also help.
UvulaPie If you had one shot to make a perfect comedy movie with slasher gore effects, you would throw in every idea, every concept, every joke imaginable, right? And they did and it works.I just saw this film for the first time in over a decade and I had forgotten how great it is! Largely snubbed by The Academy, this film has bad humor, odes to Hitchcock, gore, Pythonesque meta-film moments, and gratuitous T&A... well, gratuitous T. But very, very funny. Sure the sound overdubs are not always dead on (and they know enough to make fun of this) and the acting isn't quite first-rate, but dammit, this film is pure gold!Expect to hear me playing the "Psychos In Love" theme song in a coffee house near you!
