I knew Psycho's big plot twists before watching and it struck me how the first half sets up a seemingly completely different movie.
From thriller to slasher.

One of my favorite parts of Psycho is the framing in the first half - how it escalates into all of these figures looming over Marion. And then, suddenly, it rights itself when she gets to the motel and meets Norman. The film increases tension and then breaks it at the moment we least suspect.
