Psycho-thriller movie
in the 1920's the technology used was very limited, so the movies produced weren't that clear or realistic as they are today -
First psycho-thriller movie
'The Lodger' was a British psycho-thriller movie made in 1926 by Alfred Hitchcock. It has black and white silent movie, and the rating is a 12. This can show that it may not be as sacry or thrilling, and due to the lack of technology the movie will not be as belivable. -
Another important psycho-thriller film
'The Most Dengerous Game' was produced in 1932 by Irving Pichel and Ernest B. Schoedsack it is a 78 minut movie. Keywords for this movie are "madman, escape, psychopath, slaughther" these are typical conventions of a psychological thriller, however the certificate rating of 12 show that only frequent violent scenes are used, therefore we are unable to see the empahsise on murders or horror scenes. -
Rebecca Alfred Hitchcock
Rebecca was a famous film made in 1940 by Alfred Hitchcock, it is a black and white movie which doesn't appeal to a younger generation, due lack of thechnology. The music however flows with the genere because it creates the tension and suspance needed to make it fit with the style of the film. -
The man who cheated himself
During the 1950 was WWII, what was wittness from the war was reflected in their movies. 'The man who cheated himself' was a movie made in 1950 by Felix E. Feist, thr reviews for this movie say thet the cinematography was good along with the editing, soundtrack and cutting, but there were a few missing frame. This prove that the technology is improving. -
Sleuth
'Sleuth' was made in 1972 by Joseph L.Mankiewicz, it is a colour movie. This movie is about slueth as told in the title, the title however doesen't really link with the genre, which could potentially mislead the audience in what they are watching or going to watch. -
SIlence of the lambs
'Silence of the Lambs' 1991 by Jhonathan Demme. This movie include a psycho villan and a Hannibal, and a certificate rating of an 18. The prospective of the movie is very good as it incorporate a lot of aspects needed that may not have been used in earlier films. For example it shows ripped of human skin being eaten. -
Present Day
In present day psychological thrillers, the use of different types of technology and CGI. Recently I have realised that the technology doesen't make the film scary it can be done by the camera shots, angles and how they cut the scenes. This is shown very well in "Black Swan". The very fast cuts in this movie make scene feel fast and scary.
