Intertextuality

The term 'intertextuality' is used for when thriller movies borrow and use parts from eachothers idea's. This will occur to happen in our own productions. A great example is the 'Step Father' the shower scene when he falls upon the shower curtain this was also used within the 'Pysco'. Mant thriller and horror movies base their scence within basements were it is discrete and dark just like the step father, were he hides all his tools and a dead body.
