    When analysing Hitchcock’s Psycho, it is clear why it has been labelled as a horror. Although Norman Bates is not a monster in the physical form, his monster-like nature is within his human psyche. There are many reasons for this film to be regarded as a “horror”, the imagery of the old dark house is typical of “horror”, being set in an isolated place, off the beaten track presents a clearly gothic setting where as little as the appearance of a single woman unleashes forces of sexual assault, murder and incest. The feeling of being alone and isolated during a horrific situation creates tension as well as suspense within its audience, in Psycho the isolated setting brings a sense of fear mainly through the idea of the unknown. Isolated settings…

    In order to understand the movie American Psycho you have to remember the details of the sequence leading up to it and it all begins with a rather innocuous act, Patrick Bateman taking a trip to the ATM. Like just about everyone else in the film, Harold begins by confusing Bateman for somebody else, and is fully convinced that the message he was left was just a prank - with the punch line being the idea of a dork like Patrick Bateman being a serial killer. Running around without direction, he enters an office building, and while it’s not Pierce & Pierce, the security guard on duty still calls out to him with recognition referring to Bateman as "Mr. The lead character doesn’t have much of a problem with this idea, and there just so happens to…

Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close on the other hand sacrificed her opportunity to create a family for her career, and dedicated a great deal of time into becoming an established working female.…

    Psycho is anti-classist in the sense that it has no has no happy ending as demanded by Hollywood in the 1950s. Hitchcock in his own authoritative way gives us deliberately no happy ending that is without showing us the departure of Sam and Lila together as dawn breaks. Instead we are left staring into Norman’s mad smile or rather his Mother’s mad smile as the doctor’s words are the only jargon. When Truffaut asked whether the old rules namely that of an appealing main character and a happy ending still valid, Hitchcock answered “No”. “The public has developed.…

    Callum Watt 000873235-3 Soundtrack Analysis - Psycho In the clip that we are provided (known as “The Murder) we are given a very famous and influential scene from one of Alfred Hitchcock's most critically acclaimed films. Bernard Herrmann, the composer for the movie did a sensational soundtrack with a low budget, and even went against Hitchcock’s wishes of the score to be jazz based. With the low budget instead of using an entire orchestra Herrmann only used strings to create an arguably more tense and dark feel to the movie, Fred Steiner, in an analysis of the score to Psycho, points out that “string instruments gave Herrmann access to a wider range in tone, dynamics, and instrumental special effects than any other single instrumental group…
