Themes of Psychological Thrillers

There are many themes that run through Psychological thrillers ranging from reality to death.

The reality side of a psychological Thriller is normally the thing that either, the audience is told and the main character is trying to find out or, its the main part of the puzzle that although way through the film the character has been collecting information about which in the end, reveals the big secret.

The death side of a psychological Thriller is normally the piece of information that is known. Like for example in our film The Forgotten Truth the audience knows that lily is dead as she was killed by Damian, the question running throughout the short film is how and why did it happen? and will Damian find the answer?.


The costumes in a psychological thriller are usually simple but yet dark in colour.
A common theme that runs through psychological thrillers is the distortion of either the chronological order in which events are shown or the distortion of the main characters perception on what is happening. For example in The Forgotten Truth we have placed memories that Damian is having between bits of reality where he is looking for Lilly. However we have also made it seem like Damian is confused and is not seeing things that are really there.
