Plots(1)
In 78 setups and 52 cuts, the deliriously choreographed three-minute shower sequence in Psycho ripped apart cinema's definition of horror. With a shocking combination of exploitation and high art, Alfred Hitchcock upended his own acclaimed narrative structure by violently killing off a heroine a third of the way through his film, without explanation, justification, or higher purpose. Psycho played out like a horrific prank, forcing audiences to recognize that even the most banal domestic spaces were now fair game for unspeakable mayhem. (Sundance Film Festival)
