Psycho

In Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, we take a look at disturbed man who has a split personality of his and his mother. Alfred Hitchcock uses great cinemattography to display this characters illness. Also Norman Bates is not even seen as the main character until the middle of the movie. Janet Leigh is seen as the main character until Norman Bates's other side takes over and murders Janet, creating the most infamous movie scene in history. See the shower scene truly captures many emotions of Janet. See after her change of heart, the shower signifies her rebirth, but then there is terror and death in this rebirth created by Norman. This is truthfully just another one of Alfred Hitchcock's little mind tricks. See unlike other horror movies Psycho is a psychological horror movie. It digs deep into the dark coroners of your mind and makes you think, " wow I could have some one like that living in my neighborhood". This may also make you sympathize with the villain because they are human just like you.

Also some other techniques to meet the eye are: The parlor scene with the use of birds to display emotion, The interrogation scene with the use of a lay over of Norman Bates and the face of his mother's corpse, and the broken picture in the shower scene to show a harmless person was killed.
