Other sub-genres are disaster thrillers centered around natural disasters, psychological thrillers dealing with mental conflicts, and religious or horror thrillers involving religious or frightening elements. Erotic thrillers incorporating erotic themes also became popular in the 1980s.
Alfred Hitchcock was an influential English film director known for mastering the suspense and psychological thriller genres. After success in the UK, he moved to Hollywood where he developed his signature directorial style of using the camera to mimic a person's gaze and create a sense of voyeurism. His films often featured ordinary people drawn into frightening situations and employed techniques like misdirecting the audience and building tension by withholding danger from characters. Hitchcock died in 1980 at age 80, having directed over 50 films and pioneered important cinematic techniques that are still used today.

This document provides a detailed analysis of the opening scenes of a thriller film. It summarizes key elements of the cinematography, mise-en-scene, characters, and editing techniques used to set the mood, introduce characters, and build tension. Specifically, it notes the use of low-key lighting to establish a hostile atmosphere, the atypical portrayal of the "terrorist" protagonist as well-groomed and westernized, and how music and close-ups are used to reflect emotions and focus on facial expressions during high-tension moments like an ultimatum being delivered. Ethnic and racial stereotypes are also examined through elements like the outfits and settings used for different characters.
There are several conventions that contribute to the atmosphere of a thriller film including cinematography, editing, sound, storyline, and pace. Cinematography uses close-ups and editing employs jump cuts to build suspense. Sound gets louder during climactic scenes.
