Marion, an uninhibited secretary steals $40,000 from her employer and drives off into the night to meet her lover. During a storm she arrives at a sinister motel owned by a taxidermist, later revealed to be completely insane, whose even more demented mother lives in the adjoining mansion.
There follows one of the most disgusting and notorious murders in all screen history. It takes place in a bathroom and involves a great deal of swabbing of the tiles and flushing of the lavatory.
This scene is a perfect example of how we plan to execute our killing scene. There is undoubtedly a murder taking place in Psycho, however, Hitchcock has directed it in such a way that shows no breaking of the skin through the stabbing, while also depicting the horror of the scene masterfully. We will emulate this this for various reasons such as we cannot literally stab our actress and that we have an overall budget of £0.
We also preferred to avoid the use of gore as it became overly clichéd and tacky within the 80's - 90's horror scene with the release of low budget films such as Friday the 13th and scream.
