Psychological Thriller Film Conventions and Examples
- 9. Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the wide-ranging thriller genre. However, this genre often incorporates elements from the mystery and drama genre in addition to the typical traits of the thriller genre. Psychological Thriller Characters are reliant on their mental resources. The suspense created by psychological thrillers often comes from two or more characters preying upon one another's minds, either by playing deceptive games with the other or by merely trying to demolish the other's mental state.
- 10. Psychological Thriller Conventions Reality – The quality of being real. Characters often try to determine what is true and what is not within the narrative. Perception – A person's own interpretation of the world around him through his senses. Often characters misperceive the world around them, or their perceptions are altered by outside factors within the narrative (see Unreliable narrator). Mind – The human consciousness; the location for personality, thought, reason, memory, intelligence and emotion. The mind is often used as a location for narrative conflict, where characters battle their own minds to reach a new level of understanding or perception.
- 11. Existence/Purpose - The object for which something exists; an aim or a goal humans strive towards to understand their reason for existence. Characters often try to discover what their purpose is in their lives and the narrative's conflict often is a way for the characters to discover this purpose. Identity - The definition of one's self. Characters often are confused about or doubt who they are and try to discover their true identity. Death - Characters either fear or have a fascination with death. Psychological Thriller Conventions
