1. Conventions of a psychological thriller
• Definition
• Psychological thriller - specific sub genre of the thriller genre
• Deep focus on the characters and their states of mind
• Often incorporates elements from the mystery and drama genre, overlaps with horror genre,
particularly psychological horror
• Psychological thrillers; emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more so, than the plot
• Characters not reliant on physical strength, but rather on their mental resources, usually by battling
wits with a formidable opponent or by battling for equilibrium in the character's own mind. 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.
• Literary devices and techniques
• Stream of consciousness – a literary technique in which an individual's point of view is produced as a
written equivalent so we are able to see the individual’s thought processes. In psychological thrillers,
the narrative tries to manifest the character's psyche through word usage, descriptions, or visuals.
• First-person narrative – a literary technique in which the story is narrated by one or more of the
characters. This technique is used to make the audience more involved with the characters
themselves, and thus able to understand how the characters minds work.
• Back-story – the history behind the situation right at the start of the main story. This deepens the
psychological aspect of the story since the reader is able to more fully understand the character;
more specifically, what the character's motivations are and how his past has shaped his current
cognitive perceptions.
• Themes
• Reality
• Perception
• Mind
• Existence
• Purpose
• Identity
• Death
• These major subgenres help develop the plot of a psychological thriller film, shaping the characters'
personalities. e.g..usually character will find the true identity/the devil side of himself/herself in
psychological thriller, in which it is one of the archetypes—the loss of innocence.
• Uses of dark, isolated places.
