Explain

In the film "Frankenstein" the isolated setting of the castle is used to create a number of things. First, and perhaps the most important, it adds fear and a sense of ominousness to the film. This was very fitting to the horror genre, as the suspense and creepiness was built there. It was also used to scare the audience. This was the general reaction among the audience, with this film being referred to as the scariest for it's time. The setting is used for much of the film, including the scene in which Frankenstein creates the monster, and also it is where Fritz is killed.
In "Psycho", the isolated setting of the hotel is used. Although this is not immediately clear, because of Norman Bates' 'normal' persona. The uneasiness for the viewer is built slowly throughout the film, with Norman's interest in taxidermy perhaps setting off the first alarms. Because of the apparent normality behind the motel, it came as quite a shock to the audience that Marian Crane was killed. The idea of being isolated doesn't just apply to the setting of the motel. At the start of the film, Marian is isolated when she takes the money and is running away from the cop and her previous life. We also see this isolation during perhaps the most iconic momenst form the film, the shower scene. Marian is completely alone, void of all company, when Norman/Mother attacks and kills her with the knife.
