•
Norman revisits his traumatic childhood, marked by abuse and mistreatment; then, as usual, he starts killing again. Produced by American television and distributed in Italy only on tape, this fourth, and thankfully last, episode of the series has the merit of being at least a bit more original than the previous ones, even if it is always boredom that prevails.
