PSYCHO (1960)
The Czar of Noir proclaims that when he saw the film, he knew that it was
"The night noir died," i.e., the end of Film Noir proper.

Hitchcock is all about technique; he explains that he juxtaposes waist-level shots to overhead shots & distant vs close-up shots to create tension.

I'm suspicious, but Janet Leigh wouldn't know what film shots were edited in the shower scene sequence.

In A TALK WITH HITCHCOCK
He's asked about whether he worries about the influence of his films. He says "No, a 7 y.o. asked him what he used instead of human blood?" - Chocolate sauce ... even the kid knows it's make believe.

๐ In this regard, Hitch reminds me of eyes wiKubrick watching dailies of Nicole Kidman's scenes & Tarantino doing the same over Bridget Fonda's, Uma Thurman's, ET all feet.

"The soundtrack of screeching violins, violas, & cellos was an original all-strings piece by composer Bernard Herrmann titled 'The Murder'." Hitchcock didn't want music for the scene, but Alma & Bernard convinced him.
