Yes I don't see why not. Its actually a pretty good TV movie which sticks to the Psycho style quite closely (the style of the sequels, not the original).

Plus, it was written by the guy who scripted the original.

Your son will be fine. I have been watching horror movies since before I was his age and I have really only killed 4 people and only 2 if you dont count hobo's.

Its fine, there are tits in it a few times and its quite violent, but along the same lines as psycho III, I got it when i was 12, and my parents didn't seem very fazed about it.

A little bit of T&A never hurts. It's great for kids to see this. Start them young!

Why don't you rent the movie and watch it and see what you think? It's called parenting...try it sometime. Some people would let their kids watch porn and think it's fine, others think any film is a tool of the devil. You're the one who should be determining if something is or isn't proper.

I'm so sick of these "can my BLAH BLAH year old watch this movie?' posts. Their either fake or there are some incredibly stupid parents out there. It's rated R, right? Theres your answer.

If you really want to punish your son, then yes, let him watch Psycho IV.

I love how NO ONE gets the joke the OP is playing on all of US. Do you not realize that the movie is PSYCHO? Whereby a 15 year old BOY killed his MOTHER and the OP is playing with all of you. HE/SHE is implying that if her son watches the movie, that he will kill her... How does NO ONE get this???

There's a scene of Norman's mother played by Olivia Hussey where she is lying in bed and her breasts are uncovered for a few moments. I personally don't find any problem for a teenager to see bare breasts in a movie. I don't really consider that offensive in any way.

This film is completely safe for a 15 year old. Then Id let him watch Halloween by Rob Zombie, then just to be safe give him Wolf Creek to watch. Then Zombie Strippers. Fool, its called Psycho

Kick you in the bawz...

The movie first aired when I was fifteen. I was fine with it. Well I was a little bored by it but... I was never scared. A little horny for Olivia Hussey though.

If you're his mom it would be a bit weird though.
