THRILLER Autumn, Eduarda,
Anastasia, Kristian
SEQUENCE SUMMARY
The plotline follows that a well-groomed man is getting himself
prepared as if going to work or a night out with gestures such as
straightening his tie and buttoning his shirt. Starting this with a
close-up and slowly zooming out to reveal a woman’s legs
sprawled across him in fishnet tights and high heels, his phone
begins to ring and it is his wife that is calling him, when this
happens it is suggested to the audience that he is an unfaithful
man to his wife, he excuses himself by saying “sorry I didn’t come
home last night babe I was caught up with work”. He then
proceeds to stand up and kneel on the floor next to her grasping
her hand and performing very unusual actions such as smelling
her wrist and feeling her hand against his face. As this takes place
he begins to speak to his young son over the phone. He begins to
stroke the woman’s hair and her head tilts towards the camera
and it is revealed she has in fact had her throat slit by this man
and she is dead, revealing a plot twist to keep the audience on
their toes and keeping both tension and surprise alive. Towards
the end he erases any traces of her identity by removing teeth and
fingernails before disposing of her completely to end the thriller.
PROPS
Pliers – Tool that the psychopath uses to remove the
teeth of his victim so she is not as easily identifiable.
Teeth – To show what the man removed from her to give
a gory detail.
Bra – To give the implication that he is cheating on his
wife.
Mobile Phone – So he can accept the phone call with his
wife and we can hear him excuse himself for not coming
home.
Axe – Object to signify the victims final ending
suggesting he constantly inflicts more and more pain.
Scissors – Another tool the man uses to play around with
her hair and he keeps a piece almost as a trophy.

CONTINUES
The film continues to follow the life of the man, that we later
discover to be a psychotic serial killer, that goes about killing
his sexual affairs from the night before, which are mostly
blonde women that we later on discover is due to his
obsession with their hair colour that reminds him of the first girl
he has ever fallen in love with, when he was a child, but whom
eventually humiliated him by rejecting his love.
His whole obsession is driven by revenge and self satisfaction
that he achieves by killing women that resemble her.
We also find out that the original girl he first fell in love with,
turned out to be his wife. Which is what strikes the audience at
the end of the movie, because we are left unsure of what will
happen to her.
The whole question is why does he kill women that look like his
wife, but not the wife herself? The film ends with the question
unanswered. This shows his insanity.
HOW THE MOVIE
CONTINUES
The movie plot continues on to revel that the psychotic man is
in fact an ex spy that got hold of valuable information that
indicated that the woman he murdered was going to expose
the organisation with security secrets that go high up in the
service. He murders her to prevent the spread of information
but she is actually no more than an ordinary civilian so he goes
into hiding and discovers that his years of service have made
him insane, but will his insanity be used to bring justice to the
bad guy in a mission that no sane man can accept. He
desperately tries to prevent his wife from discovering both his
past and his future plans with the organisation, but when she
takes a step too close to revealing the truth, will it become a
rescue mission to save a loved one or betrayal to save the
company.
