Scott LeBrun The loose and wacky splatter comedy "Psychos in Love" isn't quite perfect for what it is, as it gets dull in places and some scenes simply go on too long. But when this movie hits the mark, it's a riot. It satirizes the slasher film while also supplying enough female flesh to keep its audience happy and delivering some major gut busting laughs. It's at its brightest when playing with the conventions of filmmaking. It makes sure to remind us that we're watching a movie and has some terrific moments of fourth wall breaking.One senses that this was a labour of love; various cast members also work behind the camera. Star Carmine Capobianco composed the silly, often hilarious music score, and was on the special effects team. And his leading lady Debi Thibeault designed the costumes. The two play Joe and Kate, a bar / strip club owner and manicurist respectively, who each has the bad habit of murdering the people that they date. When they meet, and confess to each other their big secrets, it's a case of true love. And while this is going on, an incredibly creepy plumber named Herman (Frank Stewart, who also did the hair and makeup) regularly kills his customers and then eats them. You know it's just a matter of time before his path crosses that of Joe and Kate.There are some truly wonderful moments; one occurs around the 25 minute mark and another takes place close to the end. You'll know them when you see them. Capobianco and Thibeault are an engaging pair. Among the ladies delivering the goods are Cecilia Wilde, Ruth Collins, LeeAnn Baker, Angela Nicholas, and Patti Chambers. The (lack of a) budget may be evident at all times, but this is hardly an issue as the cast and crew have a hell of a time, and show their viewers a good time in the process.Capobianco co-wrote the playful screenplay with Gorman Bechard, who directed, shot, and edited the movie as well.If you love good trash, a good comedy, and the prospect of filmmaking in general, you should find this quirky gem to be quite a hoot.Eight out of 10.

Tromafreak Joe is a lonely bartender, just looking for a special lady who shares his loves, as well as his hates, namely a passionate hatred for grapes, and an uncontrollable love for a little hobbie Joe likes to call "cold-blooded murder". One night, Kate, a cute little Molly Ringwald lookalike manicurist walks in to Joe's life. Learning about Kate's hatred for grapes would no doubt, give Joe the courage to ask for a date, but once he discovers that she too is a psychotic killer... well, this just might be love. Psycho's In Love is the quintessential Horror-Comedy, truly a breath of fresh air to any lover of Horror, tongue-in-cheek humor, but most of all, B-movies, and I regret that it took me this long to hear about it. Perhaps a bit too silly and overly spoofish at times but one can't deny the enthusiastic, positive feel to the whole thing, along with a thick layer of dark humor that might remind one of something like Eating Raoul. Psycho's In Love is just a pitch-black good time, from beginning to end. Also, I can totally relate to Joe and Kate, I have no issues with grapes, or anything weird like that, but I've always had a phobia of bananas. Anyway, the fact that I never even heard of this movie before this year, and that it only recently got an official DVD (Shriek Show) release tells me exactly how unappreciated and underrated this lovable 80's exploitation gem really is, and I'm sure the cult will grow in time. I suppose You can always settle for Scary Movie 1 and 2, or even 3 and 4 if you're a child, there will be cheap laughs and shameless spoofing either way, but for something with a little more style, head out to Exploitation Country to find out what's so terrible about grapes, and what's so great about being a psycho... in love. 8/10

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.

jessebrenda Pay no attention to the comments behind the curtain! The majority of people leaving positive comments about this film must be receiving royalties. This is a horrible film in every way. Imagine high school kids with no money and no sense of humor making a slasher/comedy video. They would receive a D for this. College kids would receive an F or asked to leave the school. Since this monstrosity was made by "Professionals" I believe there should be jail time or at least cinema probation. I enjoy watching bad movies Like "Plan 9 From Outer Space" but, this thing doesn't even fall into that category. The script, acting, sound, and directing are so bad that it is virtually unwatchable. If you enjoy watching bad films that are amusing stick with Ed Wood, blaxploitation, or 1970's horror films. After viewing this you get the feeling you've wasted an hour and a half of your life.
