Psycho

Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock surprised viewers at the theatre. Opening with the scandalous scene of Marion Crane with her lover Sam Loomis during a mid-lunch attempt, she then steals a large amount of cash from her boss and chooses to move to California. On the way, she ends up at the Bates Motel, where one of the most famous film scenes takes place: Crane is murdered in the shower by the mother of Norman Bates, the plucky hotel owner. Psycho was also among the first to make its killer empathetic, unprecedented for its portrayals of violence and sexuality. In the shaping genre, the killer's knife, the first-person viewpoint, and the unnerving manner in which viewers sympathize with Norman Bates all played a significant role, and its DNA is all over eventual slasher classics such as Halloween and Scream. Psycho utilized never before seen shots that changed shots technique forever. They also utilized a record breaking amount of cuts. Both of these techniques can improve our film drastically in many ways.
