Independent Research on Thrillers

I have used my spare time to research some movies in the Thriller Genre. One of my favourite thrillers is 'Angels & Demons'. This is a very interesting thriller because it creates a sense of mystery behind a subject of reality. It has conventional aspects like a 'false ending' and 'red herrings'.

Here is a trailer to Angels & Demons:

Another great example of a mysterious, captivating thriller is 'Vantage Point'. I watched the movie over this weekend to find that it had many conventions of a thriller, its use of many different perspective or as they call it "vantage points" create the sense that its a puzzle which cannot be put together without all the perspectives. Common to all thrillers, the film becomes more revealing as the time goes on, and through that, more captivating to the audience.
