The story/plot in Thrillers
These are often murder or criminal story lines that involve the uncovering of a crime or a mystery. Often, more complex plots are used to mislead the audience with clues and pieces of evidence that do not always make immediate sense. This builds suspense for the audience as they are filled with uncertainty and confusion about some of the plot and feel that they need to concentrate more. Then, shocking plot twists are used as a way of keeping the audience engaged and often occurs nearer the end of the film. This keeps the audience in even more suspense as they are unsure about what is going to happen next. The plot also often involves a lot of action and fast paced chaos as a means of disorienting the audience and keeping them in this spiral of confusion about what developments will happen in the story.
Thrillers also contain a lot of movies about identity such as having characters who find out that their real identity is that of one that they were unaware of at the start of the film. This can be seen in movies like 1999's Fight Club where the Narrator finds out that he is in fact Tyler Durden and created this alter ego to experience a more fulfilling lifestyle that is filled with chaotic behaviour.
Another example of this is in Shutter island where Edward Daniels finds out that he is actually Andrew Laeddis. He is told that he is the hospital's most dangerous patient and Dr. John Cawley proves this by showing how his name is an anagram of the man who killed his wife which he created to hide from the truth that he is responsible for her death..
Other storylines include the revelation of events where the character finds out a major fact that alters the plot. This can be seen in movies like 1999's Sixth Sense where Dr. Malcolm Crowe finds out that he has been dead throughout most of the film and was killed near the beginning of the film by Vincent Grey (one of his former patients).
Thrillers may also be in the form of superhero movies that contain Thriller elements. This is shown in the Dark Knight with some aspects of the film such as when James Gordon and Batman are racing to save Harvey Dent and Rachel Dawes. Another example is the chase scene between the Joker and the police where the Joker is going after Harvey Dent after he falsely admits that he is the Batman and the way that Batman involves himself in the chase to save Harvey Dent from the Joker.
