The film opens with a crime scene and a man dismembered but still alive. We then go back a day to three messed up women who were trapped 10 years ago by a man named Larry (Aubrey Wakeling) and had their minds and lives ruined. The film takes place in Pasadena, but reminded me of the actual case in Cleveland. The girls find out where the man lives and decide they want to get the videos back that he took of them and perhaps enact a bit of revenge, which we know happens from the opening spoiler.
The end of the film has a nice twist that wasn't well developed until near the end. Most of the action takes place off screen and body part mutilation is on a prop that isn't connected to a body. It doesn't look real. The actors were annoying, some by design. The film isn't entertaining when you want to see all the protagonists die. I liked the basic story line, but didn't care for the actors, dialogue, or execution some of which may be attributed to budget restrictions.
The script tries to tie in the Abraham-Isaac near sacrifice, but it didn't really fit.
Psychos director Sandy Chukhadarian won Best Horror Film in the 2015 Action on Film International Film Festival and Best Director 2015 California Women's Film Festival.
