Psycho (1960) shattered narrative conventions by killing its apparent lead 47 minutes in, and its $50 million gross on a $1 million budget—a 6,000% return—is 2.5x higher than the average horror film's ROI. Alfred Hitchcock's subjective killer's-eye-view camera defined the slasher grammar, influencing #6 Get Out's own perspective play. The shower scene, with 78 camera setups over 7 days, remains cinema's most dissected three-minute sequence, proving that psychological rupture is scarier than visible monsters.
