RESUMO:

Based on the homonym book by Robert Bloch, the forty-seventh feature film by the director Alfred Hitchcock was a box office phenomenon in the United States and in countries of Europe, Latin America and Asia. Today, Psycho (1960) continues to be a reference for other film, television, literary and documentary narratives. Since its release, the movie has been discussed in many occasions through psychoanalytic and/or linguistic perspectives, even though some film researchers have pointed to some lacks in these types of theories in explaining cinematic experience phenomena. Thus, the aim of this research was to investigate the affective trajectory of Psycho from the perspective of modern theories, especially cognitive ones. Starting with a discussion about narrative comprehension, we unravel the main plot of this film and point to some cultural elements of 1960. Then, we discuss the relation of cognition to the process of emotion stimulus in cinematic experience and analyse these types of response in the narrative. Regarding automatic and preconscious affects, we use as main theoretical-methodological approach the cognitive-perceptual theory by Carl Plantinga (2009) to understand the influence of stylistic elements in spectator’s responses. From the quantitative method developed by Barry Salt (1974; 2009a), we were able to compare the sensitive strategies between the scenes within this film and between him and films from other directors and periods. A review of our main findings and some possible guidelines for future research are also discussed.
