Essay / Tension in the shower scene in Hitchcock's Psycho scary of all time. It was Alfred Hitchcock's greatest work and contains one of the most wicked killers in cinematic history, the infamous Norman Bates, on whom many serial killers are now based. The film is at first glance the story of a woman, Marion, on the run with $40,000 in stolen money. , but it quickly turns into a passionate thriller in which Marion is killed and unexpected twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat.

The shower scene in "Psycho" shocked and horrified audiences, making some of them flee the theaters in dismay. The tension in the scene is so nervous – nerve-wracking that when the attack actually happens, you are so excited with anticipation, but you are still appalled by Bates' brutal attack. One of the main ways tension is created is by making the viewer so calm and relaxed before the attack that, even though the fantasy scores make you nervous, you still feel an air of relaxation as Marion is doing normal, everyday things . [IMAGE] Marion begins the scene by calculating some sums to calculate how much money she has left from the $40,000 she stole. Once finished, she throws the paper in the toilet so as not to reveal who she really is and begins to undress to take a shower.
