Shower scenes

The reaction

So fresh, so clean, but also so vulnerable, so unable to hear anything and so unable to see because of stubborn waterproof mascara mixed with soap.

The reason

‘This hits folks who have a keen sense of physical vulnerability,’ says Clasen. ‘It exploits the facts that you’re naked, the floor is slippery and visibility is poor because of steam and the water in your eyes.’

The diagnosis

Frankly? You’re just a rational human being. Get a seethrough shower curtain, though.

Avoid

Psycho, The Grudge, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5
