	Thriller film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thriller films are movies that primarily use action and suspense to engage the audience.
		Thriller films are distinct from horror movies which emphasize fear, or action movies which emphasize exhilaration.
		The motive force of a thriller can range from small-scale fraud to international conspiracy, but topics such as disasters (the disaster movie) or defeating criminals (the policier or crime film) are typically the preserve of other genres.

		Thriller and Suspense Films are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-wracking tension.
		Thrillers keep the emphasis away from the gangster, crime, or the detective in the crime-related plot, focusing more on the suspense and danger that is generated.
		In Hitchcock's films, the main character(s) usually committed a crime or was caught as a victim of circumstance, from which there was the inevitable life and death chase concluding with a showdown at a familiar landmark (for example, London's Albert Hall, the Statue of Liberty, or Mount Rushmore).

		ENG 277: The Thriller in Film and Literature
		The course:The term “thriller” is used constantly by reviewers, critics and the general public to refer to a certain type of novel or movie--often with a subheading like “spy thriller,” “legal thriller,” “psychosexual thriller” or “postmodern thriller.”Clearly “the thriller” is an extremely popular type of narrative--more popular today than ever, it may seem.

	THRILLER
		The film begins with a threadbare expository sequence, in which a young girl, Madeline (Christina Lindberg) is raped by an elderly man. The police arrive, and the narrative then skips approximately ten years.
		Given the lurid premise of the film and the inclusion of several hardcore sequences, it quickly becomes apparent that THRILLER is a film concerned with looking, forcing the viewer into the unrepentant voyeur.
		Perhaps the most famous message appeared on the posters of Zarchi’s film, boasting "This woman has just chopped, broken and burned four men beyond recognition…but no jury in America would ever convict her!" Besides the obvious exploitation value, the quote hints at the film’s politics which are quite symptomatic of the era (the mid 70’s).

	The Film Asylum Review - Saw (Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwes)
		The cleverness of this film is not just in its various twists and turns but in the fact that the villain, aptly nicknamed ‘The Jigsaw’ cannot actually be accused of murder, however he does create the scenario leaving the player to puzzle it out for themselves.
		This is one of those films that doesn't need to rely on its musical content and to be honest although it is more than an adequate compliment to the film it is not essential.
		The film goes out of its way to explain in greater detail the reasons behind the somewhat obsessive nature of Detective Tapp and his encounter with the malefactor which not surprisingly has unexpected results too.

	Thriller a.k.a. They Call Her One Eye
		Soon the floodgates were open, and a glut of “artistic” Scandinavian films like Quiet Days in Clichy, complete with occasional bits of XXX naughtiness, unspooled in projectors around the world.
		Filmed and paced like an art film (not surprising since director Bo Arne Vibenius studied with Ingmar Bergman) but crammed with outrageous sex and violence visuals, this is one of the most distinctive if not exactly tasteful entries in the woman-fighting-back strain of ‘70s exploitation.
		Seen today, the film’s greatest asset is certainly the striking Lindberg; she’s lovely and appealing enough during the opening act to elicit sympathy for her plight, but once she loses her eye and begins sporting an array of colorful outfits with eyepatches to match, she becomes a shotgun-toting icon for the ages.

		Where you draw the line in defining genres is up for film theorists - but genre is handy: it gives the film a frame of reference, a link to cinema history, makes it presentable to a wide audience and also, a genre comes packed with a load of conventions.
		The film is consistently entertaining, Freeman and Pitt have great chemistry, and the ending is so much more provocative than the usual surprise endings, which just pull the rug up from under you.
		The film is one of the most potent psychological thrillers ever made, and will leave you with some mindbending questions.

		While this film's conception of a terrorist threat is apparent early on, its strength lies in a string of ingenious little surprises.

		A clumsy and incompetent thriller for nine-tenths of its length, but it has an ending so clever and that goes so wildly against expectations it almost exonerates the film.

	Thriller and Suspense Films
		The spy film was most popular during the 1960s when the Cold War was in evidence, and audiences demanded more action/thriller-suspense pictures.
		Espionage films could either be serious, fact-based stories (i.e., The Spy Who Came In From the Cold (1965) or films based upon novelists' fictional or fact-based works), or fanciful-escapist films (such as the James Bond series).
		As already noted, many of Alfred Hitchcock's suspense/thriller films, especially during his early years, were espionage/spy subgenre films, and he was responsible for the popularity of this kind of film.
