Serial killers find romance—and competition—in a blood-soaked black comedy.
PSYCHOS IN LOVE
Love hurts...
A strip-joint owner and a manicurist find that they have many things in common, the foremost being that they are psychotic serial killers. They fall in love and are happy being the family that slays together, until one day they come up against a plumber who also happens to be a cannibal.
Proof that love means never having to say you’re sorry... for the body count.
Psychos in Love gleefully parodies slasher tropes with its unapologetic trash aesthetic, serving up a bloody, tongue-in-cheek romance between two serial killers. With Troma-style excess and a cavalcade of over-the-top murders in the opening minutes, this one’s for those who like their humor jet-black and their horror self-aware.

Synopsis
The plot of ” Psychos” is, and quite good for black comedy . Bartender Joe engaged at leisure murders of young women , met with a manicurist Kate, who as well as he is the serial killer. They move in together , doing things you love and feel just fine … At the other end of the city wielding plumber , cannibal , with a couple in love who will later meet …. From the description it would seem that it’s a wild crazy trash . Well the way it is ! But with all this, ” Love Psychopaths ” is a real black comedy . This, in my opinion, all of the most smooths the rough edges of the film …
I was most annoyed by directors who are trying to take a serious movie, but in the end they get poor trash ( Ed Wood does not count). This “serious trash ” is able to ward off any genre of his most ardent admirer. But the ironic trash B. Gorman is wonderful in every way. Great players , awesome scenes (like the episode with the stripper , who did not want to die ) , catchy installation and photography and especially the pseudo- black-and- white inserts an interview with Joe … The first three murders surprised even me … Talented dialogues in the style of Lloyd Kaufman decorate this job.
“Psychos in Love” – the movie is not for everyone. Many of the film seems too unprofessional and stupid at first. But my advice to you is be patient the first ten or twelve minutes. More will be better . The final dialogue about the grapes even something like movies V. Allen …
