- 2. Conversions of a thriller In a conventional thriller ordinary people are pitted against evil villains who vare determined to destroy them , their country or the stability of the free world. A conversational thriller will have non-stop action plot twists , red herrings and cliff-hangers that will both surprise and excite the audience. Settings that are both vibrant and exotic and an intense pace that never levels up until the Adrenalin filled climax. Our thriller incorporates all these conversations we included action and suspense , to really keep the audience at the edge of their sits. We have used the classic attack from behind , we got inspiration from the shower scene in psycho And also the daunting shots of unconscious/dead bodies that are excessively used in No country for old men This hot is similar to our thriller because the villain attacks from behind and the victim is clueless creating tension and suspense , however in our thriller the victim does not turn around before they are attacked whereas that’s what happens in psycho
