Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Psychos in Love (1987) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Joe (Carmine Capobianco) and Dianne (Angela Nicholas) meet in his bar and soon hit it off. They never realized that they could meet someone with so much in common but it turns out that they both are also serial killers. The two agree to live together and keep killing but soon problems start to happen.PSYCHOS IN LOVE from director Gorman Bechard is a rather interesting film because in many ways it plays out like the countless romances that have happened since the dawn of cinema. You've got a fun couple. That couple faces various issues. That couple here just happen to be brutal murders. This isn't the type of film that is going to appeal to everyone and there's no question that there are some flaws but at the same time there's no question that there's a certain charm that is going on here.The main thing that is going to draw people to this movie is its sleaze. If you're into violence, gore and hot ladies getting naked then you're going to get plenty of that throughout the running time. What's so funny about this movie is that we've got the two lead characters talking to each other like they're in Romeo and Juliet but at the same time they're surrounded by all of this brutal and gory violence. The special effects certainly aren't in the same league as Tom Savini but they're still quite good. There's also plenty of blood being sprayed around so it's easy to see why this film gained its cult reputation.I also thought the two leads were quite good but there's no doubt that it's Capobianco who steals the show. He was co-writer for the screenplay so I'm sure he wrote his character's good dialogue but he also knew how to deliver it. PSYCHOS IN LOVE has certain flaws including its plot getting worn out by the end but it's still a fun little gem.

...and really not worth your bother, "Psychos in Love" will likely remain notable for two reasons, and two reasons only: make-up artist Jennifer "Street Trash" Aspinall's participation, and the absurdist hook of two serial killers with a mutual loathing for grapes. Beyond that, it's a regrettable mess, chock full of boring dialog, hapless actors, and all the production value of a slapdash student film. Don't be fooled; this pitiful excuse for a movie fails utterly to live up to the promise of its title. The leads evince no chemistry whatsoever, deliver their lines like they're reading from cue cards, and thankfully went nowhere significant in their careers. Small recompense to anyone who sits through this dreck.I paid nothing to view this, but still feel ripped off.

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

Two serial killers fall madly in love with one another and that's just about all the plot you are gonna get out of this film. This is supposed to be a spoofing of the genre in general. Some of the jokes really hit home ( ex. when they buy a VCR and start renting movies), but some fall really flat on there face. The muscial numbers don't really work and feel as though they belong in another film. The two leads are alright. The producers and director did the best job they could considering how low the budget was.Unrated; Strong Graphic Violence, Nudity, Rape, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.
