* {{Narm}}: The ending of the film is just so ludicrous -- with both Fuller and Willie dressed like Mrs. Bates, both doing so by wearing what look like cheap Halloween costumes, and the sequence accompanied by ridiculously overdone black-and-white filters and slow motion -- that it likely helped kill any remote possibility of a full series based on the film.
* {{Wangst}}: Because Barbara is only introduced with around 25 minutes of the film left to go, her decision to kill herself because she's divorced three times with no children doesn't exactly get a whole lot of development, and ends up coming across more as an overreaction to bad luck rather than her having genuinely crossed the DespairEventHorizon.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The revelation that [[spoiler:all the teenagers who attend the Bates Motel's re-opening night are ghosts sent to talk Barbara out of suicide]] is so out of keeping with the rest of ''Psycho'' canon that some find it easier to believe they're a bunch of genuine teenagers who just came to scam Alex out of food and drink, but felt bad once they actually started doing so, and so decided to talk Barbara out of killing herself to make up for it. Even the few vaguely supernatural things that Sally seems to do -- unlocking the door to Barbara's room despite having the wrong key, and then getting in despite the door being the bolt lock being on -- could be explained away as Alex screwing up and giving her the key in the former instance, and Sally having hidden away in Barbara's closet in case Tony was unable to talk her out of killing herself.
