1. Psychological Thriller
Conventions
By Shaban Jahan

2. • Most psychological thriller films are related to the
mind or the processes of the mind. For example
sometimes the suspense comes from within one
solitary character, this means that the characters
must resolve conflicts with their own minds.
Usually the conflict is an effort to understand
something that has happened to the
psychological character. Thus when the audience
see these conflicts they see it vividly with physical
expressions. For example anger or confusion.

3. • Within psychological thriller movies themes
are explored.
• For example themes such as
• Perception = a person’s own interpretation of
the world around them through their senses.
• Identity = the definition of one’s self. In
psychological thriller characters often are
confused about or doubt who they are and try
to discover their true identity.
