How To Watch Georgina Campbell's Psycho Killer At Home
"Psycho Killer" was a passion project for longtime producer Gavin Polone, who produced movies like "Zombieland," "Panic Room," and "Premium Rush," as well as TV shows like "Gilmore Girls" and the HBO comedy classic "Curb Your Enthusiasm." But Polone was itching to get behind the camera to make his feature directorial debut with a project that's totally different than those credits, and he finally managed to get "Psycho Killer" made after at least 15 years of trying. Soon, you'll be able to witness the results of that passion in the confines of your own home, because "Psycho Killer" will be available for purchase on Digital platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on April 7, 2026.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there will be any special features that come with the Digital release, nor does it appear that "Psycho Killer" will receive a physical media release on 4K, Blu-ray, or even DVD. That's a bummer for those who were hoping to learn more about how the movie was made — including its grossest moment – but it's sadly par for the course in the modern era, when studios are no longer incentivized to devote resources to home video releases for films that didn't perform super well at the box office. Variety reported that "Psycho Killer" cost under $10 million to produce, and the movie only pulled in $2.5 million in its theatrical run.

"Psycho Killer" stars Georgina Campbell ("Barbarian") as a Kansas highway patrol officer whose husband is murdered in front of her by a serial killer known as the Satanic Slasher. Obsessed with bringing the killer down, she single-mindedly tracks the Slasher across the country as he leaves even more bodies in his wake.
But even though the film has notable people involved with it — "IT" producer Roy Lee was on board, and the script was written by "Seven" scribe Andrew Kevin Walker — the end result is limp and surprisingly dull, given its subject matter. Campbell does her best with the material, but the script simply isn't very strong. Watching the movie, you get the sense that the filmmakers thought several moments were going to play much better than they actually did, like an extended murder spree featuring Malcolm McDowell ("A Clockwork Orange") as the leader of a Satanic cult participating in sex parties in a mansion. It doesn't help that the film's climax is preposterous, and the ending has the gall to blatantly tease a sequel. I didn't hate the experience of watching it, but I would not personally recommend spending money on this. The film's pitiful 10% Rotten Tomatoes score indicates there are plenty of critics that agree with me, and its 37% audience score shows there isn't much support from that angle, either.
