That night, when Marion is in the shower, she is stabbed to death in one of the most iconic scenes in American film. The action then shifts to Sam, Marion’s boyfriend, and Lila, Marion’s sister. Concerned about her absence, they hire the services of a private detective named Arbogastw, who tracks her down to the Bates Motel. Once there, he is unconvinced by Bates’ explanation of Marion’s arrival and departure, and in turn, he too meets his end.
The film picks up as Sam and Lila trace Arbogast to the town near the Bates Motel, where they make the startling realization that Norman Bates’ mother has been dead for years. The movie is considered to be one of the first psychological thrillers, and certain key images have become ingrained American film imagery. For example, the scene of Marion’s murder in the shower has been parodied many times in both film and television.
