Psycho
Motel hell
Four on a meathook
Silence of the lambs
As we are aware of the above are the most well known films there is quite a lot of films about him like deranged. Butcher of plainfield, in the light of the moon and many more. |
I would disagree. Ed gein is certainly the main inspiration for both films as well as the others you listed, but in terms of style, and the way TCM is shot, hooper was clearly influenced by psycho. From the entire way the film is made to seem far more violent than it is through creative use of camera angles and sound design down to the matter-of-fact way the private detective is dispatched I would argue strongly that psycho was a major influence on the TECHNUIQUES hooper used when making the film.
