Psycological Thriller Research - Rachael Smith

To understand the thriller concept further, I have researched the top five films within the thriller genre. (IMDb: highest rated).

1. Se7en (1995)

2. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

3. Memento (2000)

4. The Shining (1980)

5.Requiem for a Dream (2000)

A lot of these films are also found under the different genre headings, like: crime and mystery, therefore it is not very clear what conventions and concepts are purely psychological.
