Thriller Films

We discussed the different types of thrillers. We distinguished between thrillers and what makes thrillers. For example Paranormal Activity is more horrific than phone booth. The reason for this is because phone booth builds up that suspense of what is going to happen next like leaving a cliff hanger towards the end of the film. It also follow the thriller conventions that i made in my last post (There is an innocent victim [the main character] minding his or her business, then something out of the ordinary happens to them).

Some of the films we placed into the thriller genre:
  • Disturbia
  • Buried
  • Phone-booth
  • Panic Room 
  • Hostage
  • When a stranger calls
  • Taken
  • Bad boys
  • Kill Bill
  • Fatal Attraction
  • Vantage point
  • 12 round
  • Public enemy 
  • The Strangers
  • Law abiding citizen
  • The resident
  • Enemy of the state
