A red herring is a device in the film that tries to divert the audience from the truth or an item of significance in the thriller.
It is normally interlinked with 'Enigmas' which creates more suspense for the audience.
In the film 'The Resident' there is a scene in the movie where we think (Christopher Lee) Albert is planning to do something to Hilary Swank)Dr Juliet Devereau with his dark and mysterious appearance but in actual fact he isn't the real Protagonist. This did divert from the actual plot because we were concentrating on Albert but forgetting about the other character who was going to do something.
