Last night checked this out and absolutely loved it from start to finish. Totally agree with Lee and that's the thing I liked about it most...Francis' excellent camera works...which always required for & gives the perfect tone to view such an engaging psychologically twisted thriller, plus added Giallo flavor here & there. The added twist at the very end changed the game here quite a bit & makes THE PSYCHOPATH somewhat standout than any other psycho-thrillers with mother-issue. I've seen
Paranoiac(1963) before, so now I'm very much looking forward to check out Freddie's other thrillers like HYSTERIA & NIGHTMARE.
