I have asked 2 people questions about thrillers. I decided to go for a 16 year old boy (George James) and also a 45 year old woman (Mrs Pitts). I chose these people as I have an age gap between them and also to get a view from each gender. Both of my people would have different views as they are from different backgrounds and also the as gap is significant between each of them.

Mrs Pitts.

My favourite thriller film would have to be Shutter Island as it has a great opening and as the film goes on you get drawn into the plot and the mystery. I am a fan of Leonardo Dicaprio so this film immediately appealed to me.  The opening few minutes were good as it very much set the scene and it gave a clear understanding where they were and who each of the characters were.  By the end of the film I had a different look on the film as it leaves it up to you to decide who he really is.

I would recommend this as a thriller as it has spooky and mystery to it making it a good thriller. Also the music is very much depressing and that it fits very well with where they are.

George James

I have chosen The Town as my thriller film. I would say that it has a strong plot and that some particular actors are good. Such as Ben Affleck who is the main character plays his role very good and makes the film a Thriller. The Suspense grows through this film as it leads up with a dramatic ending which is good.

My favourite Thriller was Shutter Island. I prefer crime thrillers. In shutter Island i really liked the plot and a really creepy sort of suspense. I also liked the twist at the end of the film which made me think what is going to happen next.  I was disappointed that it didn’t have opening credits introducing the film or that it had opening theme music.

Jack Craig

I like basic instinct. It is an erotic thriller which contains a lot of scenes of sexual content. I hate opening credits and I also hate theme tunes. They take up to much time of the film and i can’t really get into the thriller.
