Thriller movies usually feature the following props:
Knives- scares the audience

Mask- disguise/mystery
Gun-scares the audience/keeps them on the edge of their seat
Torch- Adds lighting to the scene to make the audience wonder what's to come when the light shines on an object or place
Costumes
The costumes in a psychological thriller would conform to the setting e.g.- business suit for office building, prison/mental asylum- orange jumpsuit/white clothing
Makeup
The makeup of the antagonists would look more dull/look older whereas protagonists would have brighter makeup/younger looking faces as they're less stressed. Blood on the face could show this film is a psychological as something thrilling could have happened to make this blood eg. fight scenes
