Thriller in Film

 Hello again! Yesterday I started researching more about thriller as a genre and how to develop one. Here are some examples of good thriller films I watched and learned about.

Inside Man (2006)

"Inside Man" was produced by Universal Pictures and Mule Filmworks is a thriller directed by Russell Gewirtz. The film became successful and won multiple prices such as NAACP Image Awards for best direction for a movie and Black Movie Award for best director.

The plot bases on a police detective who is facing a bank robber. The detective has to negotiate with the criminal's perfectly executed heist to save the people who are holding hostage and arrest the criminal. The movie is recognized for its well designed and complicated plot that engages with the audience.

Us (2019)

The film "Us" is a great example for a more recent film within this genre. The film produced by Monkey Paw and Universal Pictures is a social thriller that became very popular the year it was released. The film won seventy seven awards out of a hundred and fifteen nominations. Including an Academy Award as the Best Original Screenplay.

Adelaide and her husband go to a house where she grew up near the beach. They feel that something weird is present in the house but do not understand why, then they find four people with masks present in the house. But the movie becomes more suspenseful and scary when they remove their masks and reveal their faces. The film focuses more on implications of culture and society. It focuses on the way the characters think, act, and talk. And it even brings matters of race in the U.S.
