Psychological Conventions

Conventions of a Psychological Thriller:

  • Clever Characters-thinking ahead
                                      - they become isolated from the rest of the characters


  • It messes with your head
  • There is a mis-leading story- plot twists 
  • Unusual happenings- extraordinary
  • Film works up to chocking reveal
  • Characters have fascination/fear and death  
  • Danger on a mental level rather than physical 
  • Characters try and find their own purpose
  • Characters in conflict with their mind- they don't know what is true or not 
  • 2 or more characters preying on each-others sanity.
