The aspects borrowed from the film Psycho?
The props used from the clip in Psycho appears in this film also, for example, the knife, the white tiles, the shower rail. When the woman dies, she slides down the tiles into the bath which also appears in the film Psycho so this is another aspects from the famous clip.
Starts on the staircase where a man is carrying his wife up the stairs into the bathroom to drown her, the woman is paralysed so she can not run away.
The aspects borrowed from the film Psycho?
The bath scene, showerhead. They didnt have to have the sound of the shower but wanted to have more effect on the scene which makes the audience feel scared and have a slight adrenaline.
The tiles, curtains and bath are all white. This connotes purity or a sense of innocences as the killers are being killed for no reason, it also makes the lighting lighter and gives more detail in the surroundings and makes it seem isloated.
What happens in the film?
In the Stepfather, the man is chasing the woman up the stars into the bathroom, and a mirror breaks and smashes on the floor, which then the woman picks up and stabs him in the neck. He then falls into the bathtub but gets up after a while and gets a knife and goes to kill her.
The aspects borrowed from the film Psycho?
The same isolated bathroom with the white tiles and curtains. The man also uses the same knife used from the famous bathroom clip from Psycho.
The stepfather is a good example of intertextuality as even though they use aspects from the film Psycho it also borrows from one of the other film was evaulated above (What Lies Beneath).
