Our femme fatale 'Abigail' played by Laura was very much based on the character 'Marion Crane' from Psycho. Like Marion, Abigail is a very classy, stylish lady. Furthermore like Marion, Abigail will not be portrayed as an over glamorous character that wouldn't look right in society, she will be portrayed as a normal moral human being. This makes her character more believable and therefore adds a sense of normality to the film, creating suspense.
Psycho also brought with it, the famous 'shower scene'. This transformed the 'cleanliness' vision that most viewers associated with a shower. We wanted our thriller to have that kind of impact on the audience so we decided to use a shower as the location for the murder in our thriller.
There is also an association with money and our femme fatale Abigail. It isn't a huge aspect of our thriller but she owns more money than 'Scott' and we can see this by there choice of housing. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Abigail doesn't really show much interest in Scott.
Abigail is however more innocent than Marion. As we see in Psycho Marion does not hesitate to steal the money as she has an affair with a married man. We feel that Abigail is portrayed through our thriller as a more down to earth girl, showing more innocence.

Useful details of how you've used Marion Crane to construct Abigail. Do note that though Marion has a respectable job she has little social status in the film, thus she steals money to fund her relationship. Marion's respectability is paper thin because she is having an affair with a married man and doesn't hesitate to steal.
