Psychos is a Horror Movie by Sandy Chukadarian.

Three girls, Sasha (Angelica Cassidy), JJ (Deniele Ramos Coutier), and Norma (Melissa Elena Jones) all have one thing in common. 10 years ago, they all managed to escape the home of a child molester, and have been haunted by it ever since. Now Sasha has to turn to prostitution to get by, JJ likes killing rats with a knife, and Norma was recently fired from her job at a daycare for threatening to lock a child in a closet.

Well now, the three girls all received E-Mails of the videos of the time they spend in that nightmare, and have decided that they've lived with it long enough. Joining together, the girls decide to invade their abuser's house, get the DVDs of their abuse, and make him pay for what he did to them.

The movie was released on March 17th, 2017.
