The sound in a psychological thriller usually includes eerie style music which keeps the audience on the edge of their seat. This music fits to the likes of Psycho and this sound is well recognised to many people, it builds up tension in a scene and scares/shocks the audience.
Psycho shower scene-sound effects
The sound of a knife scraping or a weapon making a noise such as a gun is usually seen in this genre but the audience can't see where the sound is coming from and in most cases neither can the characters which adds to the thrill.
Other noises that add to these genres are non diegetic sound and mainly music as it makes the opening of the film more scary if there's a lot of music rather than talking whereas when there is talking it's rather slow paced to make the film seem scarier. Silent scenes are sometimes seen in these type of films or scenes with barely any sound in order to portray a danger in the film
The sound usually relates to the characters as a certain type of music plays when a character is on such as the main or an evil character. This shows the audience what type of character they are and if they're good or evil so in our film we would use eerie music when Damion arrives on screen to show he has an evil side to him.
