Thriller has become one of the most extreme genres within the movie industry, having one of the most devastating and traumatic effects it on its audience. It plays with the audiences mind but also with its emotions with main intentions to initiate great amount of nerve wracking-tension, high levels of uncertainty and ultra heightened prospects. Like action movies Thrillers are also fast paced having a great deal of intense excitement and making the viewers extremely dedicated into watching, so intense it makes the viewers really dig into the situation almost like putting themselves into the characters position to get a great feel for the movie.
The type’s characters you’ll find in a Thriller are twisted minded criminals or terrorists, or even a romantic triangle which goes terribly wrong and leads to murder. In most cases in Thrillers death is one of the main aspects were you often see either being brutalised or getting killed. Most soundings in Thriller are very similar to Horror films, were your likely to start of with a very slow paced soundtrack making the watcher realising that something is going to happen and while the soundtrack begins to build up and becomes faster and faster so does the viewers heart rate.
A good example of a Thriller based movie is “Psycho (1960)”, the film is based in a motel where you have a deeply depressed son who has had an awkward upbringing by his mum who has passed away. By still having her skeleton and clothing within a basement, he tends to believe that she is still alive and hears her voice. In this film you have a twisted and very complex understanding to the film which then reveals itself towards the endings, which is very common.
The main point of a Thriller is to keeps the viewer’s attention throughout the whole film and really making it an experience rather then watching a TV programme. As most top directors do is to keep an unexpected ending and not making the film so predict full.
