Research

Our group has been researching different movies which are similar to our thriller and the movies listed below, are movies which have the same conventions of a typical Thriller.

These are movies which are similar to our movie:
                                                         
 Spellbound(1945)

The movie Spellbound was a movie done by Alfred Hitchcock who was the most famous thriller movie director/producer of all time and his famous works included a movie called 'Psycho'. 

Spellbound was an international picture movie and it was first shown in 1945. 

Spellbound got a rating on the imdb.com site a 7.7/10 which is a high rating which means that it was a success. 
The target age group for the movie Spellbound was PG, which means that parental guidance is expected, de to the bloody effects.

A famous line in this movie is 'Will he Kiss me or Kill me?'.

The budget for this movie was $1,696,377 and a made a massive profit of $7,000,000 just in the USA alone which is a big difference for just a small budget. 

The trailer for this movie created suspense and this was quite good because as an audience our group felt that it made us want to watch the movie more.

Charade 1963 



Charade is a movie set in the 1963 about a detective who is trying to get down to sorting a crime and the movie ends roughly the same as our movie because the killer ends up being the detective and this creates suspense right from the start to the end of the movie. Charade is truly a thriller which is not to be forgotten it has many means and shows the true meaning of a thriller.
Charade was directed and produced by Stanley Donen and written by Marc Behm and Peter Stone. Charade is truly marvelous due to the fact it had well know starts of the 1990's such as Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn who starred in well known movies such as My Fair Lady(1964) and Breakfast at Tiffany's(1961).

The Sixth Sense (1999)


The Sixth Sense stars a well known actor, Bruce willis who has acted in many blockbuster movie which made many audiences more attracted to the movie. Bruce Willis has acted in movies such as Die Hard and Die Hard 2, Oceans Twelve. The movie is about a child psychologists who is attending to a troubled little boy who believes that he could see dead people but the movie takes a new twist when we discover that Dr. Malcolm Crowe(Bruce Willis) himself is dead and is just like all the other wandering spirits. This movie is similar to out thriller because it is mostly about identity and how situations could sometimes lead us to do things which we wold not usually do. 

The Sixth Sense inspired us hugely because we wanted to show the consequences of peoples actions and it helped us to have a mixture of 'The Sixth Sense' and the movie 'Charade', this is how we created our thriller movie.
