Intertextuality: is a term used to describe the visual referencing between films. films literally "borrow" from each other whether it be a certain camera angle, an aspect of mise-en-scene, dialogue, or even snippets of sound.
one of the most famous use of intertexuality is the shower scene from the film "psycho". Many films have emulated this scene such as "what lies beneath" & "Fatal attraction".
 |
| In "What Lies Beneath" they have used the same shower curtain and shower head. Also, the victim is a white blonde woman who has been killed by a man. |
 |
 |
| In "Fatal Attraction" the victim is a blonde white woman. The victim is also sliding down the same white tiled wall and the knife used is the same. |
