What do you know about thriller genre and what details do you expect to see in it?

  1. action
  2. i adore japanese psychological thrillers, and thrillers such as "the lighthouse." i expect to see an aesthetic choice that evokes a consistent terror throughout, as well as well-planned dialogue and scene shifts.
  3. looking for uniqueness
  4. i expect a lot of action, suspense, and to be on the edge of my seat; something is always about to happen.
  5. i expect suspense, jump scares, and stress.
  6. at the time, there was a film "psycho" that served as the foundation of the thriller genre. these types of films retain the attention of the spectators through scenes of brutality or extreme realism. i think that a good thriller retains attention not with brutality but with the speed of the action. the plot is very important too.
  7. the thriller genre is typically unpredictable, with the main focus on mood and atmosphere to elicit reactions from the audience, such as excitement and anticipation.
  8. unexpected. suspenseful. an ending that doesn’t quite make sense but makes you think.
  9. thriller is something that gives you a lot of suspense. the details i am expecting are the colors and the cinematography in it. i believe they play a major role in thriller movies.
  10. tension, storyline, hopefully a good ending, makes you think about some things like love, jealousy, anger. someone who has an interesting personality.

Do you know anything about PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER? If so, what? You can even give an example

  1. no
  2. i know a little. the lighthouse is a fantastic example that i love to think about. the way they used the actors' features to add to the creepy undertone, coupled with the black and white aesthetic choice that i feel kept you focused. as it was black and white, i felt more creeped out at having to intentionally make out what was going on on the screen. it also makes the scenes feel more detached and "trip-like."
  3. not really
  4. i know that they mess with your head. i think get out might be one.
  5. i believe it's the same as a thriller movie, but the characters are inherently scary most of the time because of the way they think or treat others. i think psychological thrillers are often scarier because they show how twisted people can be, and the plot is more realistic, which makes it scarier. an example of a movie: seven.
  6. the film "psycho" uses scenes of brutality in order to influence one's perception of the film.
  7. n/a
  8. i think of split or us.
  9. psychological thrillers deal with minds and mentality. joker (2019) film parasite the girl on the train (this is obviously a thriller, but according to my assumptions, i think we could consider this film a psychological thriller)
  10. panic room, side effects, prisoners, not sure..

What do you think is the difference between THRILLER and HORROR?

  1. don't know
  2. thrillers are less predictable and usually try to maintain tension throughout, whereas horror aims for a climax.
  3. experience
  4. thriller has more suspense and action and might not scare you, but horror can be slow yet still scary.
  5. i think thriller movies have a more consistent plot; the story can exist without being scary. horror movies are only there to scare you, and the plot is less important/cohesive.
  6. in the thriller, there is action. horror is not characterized by action, and one scene can unfold very slowly, whereas thrillers have a certain dynamism.
  7. horror is more gory and graphic, whereas thriller relies on jump scares and focuses more on the atmosphere, such as suspense and surprise.
  8. thriller is suspenseful and horror shows the gruesome stuff.
  9. thriller films provide suspense, and we are excited to know what will happen in the next moments. additionally, we cannot predict the ending. the color palettes often change according to the mood and the scenes. however, when it comes to horror, most of the time the plot can be predicted, and it surprises us with the appearance of ghosts or creatures.
  10. horror is basically just scary, spooky, insane, and fearful (like saw, texas chainsaw massacre, etc.). thrillers are less scary (that's the best explanation i have).
