Psycho Killer (2026) Review | Is This Even Horror?


Listen Later

Is Psycho Killer (2026) actually a horror movie… or just a crime thriller with a satanic edge?

We went into this one with very different expectations. Amy didn’t even want to see it. William was cautiously optimistic because of the writer behind Seven. And somehow, we walked out debating whether this belongs in the horror genre at all.

In this episode, we break down:

• The tonal mismatch between script and visuals

• Why the film never feels urgent
• The killer’s design and voice
• The hammer sequence and final act
• And whether serial killer procedurals qualify as horror

We give our final verdict using The Fear Review rating scale:

Buyer | Full Price | Matinee | Renter | Streamer | Don’t Bother
