Year: 1968
Director: Noel Black
Plot: Easygoing but psychotic Dennis (Anthony Perkins) is released from jail, where he has served a sentence for his complicity in a suspicious death. Wandering through a small, working-class New England town, Dennis befriends apparently normal high school A-student Sue Ann (Tuesday Weld). He fills her head with lies about his imaginary career as a secret agent. She is thrilled, and makes up her mind to join him in his further adventures. This jet-black "who's manipulating who?" seriocomedy was adapted by Lorenzo Semple Jr. from Stephen Geller's novel She Let Him Continue. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Body: Who played the better 'Psycho' out of Anthony Hopkins or Anthony Perkins? Sir Anthony Hopkins has defined the character of 'Hannibal Lecter' for all of us... He is quite disturbing in that role, there is no doubt! He also played quite a convincing psychopath in "Magic" ... He also played "Quasimodo" in the 1982 version of "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame"... Anthony Perkins clearly defined 'Norman Bates' in the "Psycho" series... He is QUITE disturbing in that role! He also played a convincing psychopath in "Pretty Poison"... as well as 'Jeckyll and Hyde' in "Edge Of Sanity"... While Hannibal Lecter has a much higher 'body-count', I feel that Norman Bates is the more 'disturbed' of the two... I would much rather fight Norman than Hannibal because I feel I could take that butcher-knife away from Norman and shove it up his ass... Hannibal Lecter, with his infinite knowledge of human anatomy and his skill with edged weapons, would not be so easy.... What do YOU think, fellow Horror-philes... let me know...

Body: In lieu of an actual review (which will probably come later), I wanted to commend this woefully overlooked film for its unapologetic and unaffected portrayal of two severely troubled protagonists. Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld play characters whose morality and whose regard for society (and their role within it) are so skewed, nihilistic, and inimical that it's strangely refreshing to see a film which offers no explanation for or condemnation of their actions; all mankind has the capacity for evil, and the arid tedium of everyday life is every bit as likely a mainspring for antisocial behavior as any other psychological justification one can level at a deviant.
