Changes in Convention of the Thriller Genre



Over the later years of film making, psychological thrillers have grabbed the attention of an audience better then the average love film, for example, on Rateitall.com the average psychological thriller is rated somewhere between 4 or 5 out of 5.


Going back to the early years of film making, where setting and acting was abysmal, the psychological thrillers, such as Blackmail (1929; Directed by Alfred Hitchcock) didn’t seem to make a good impression on a wide audience as the industry lacked the understanding, knowledge and expertise that makes a better class of psychological thrillers as we know today, for example The Others (2001; Directed by Alejandro Amenabar).
