Thrillers are exciting and excellent at building tension and suspense while subverting the audience's expectations. Psychological thrillers, however, are thrillers that excel at playing with the audience's psyche. Blood, gore, and special effects disturb people; but psychological thrillers dig deeper by disturbing the audience's expectations.
While Soft and Quiet does get very violent, the psychological torment befalls the viewer because of having to follow the unrelenting point-of-view of horrible people. Thanks to the cinematography, the film is punishing in the way that it continuously follows the women. Soft and Quiet is the debut film by filmmaker Beth de Araujo, and it is an exciting introduction to what she may do next.
7 'Se7en' Directed by David Fincher David Fincher is the modern master of thrillers that leave audiences biting their nails through tense plots. Se7en is the scariest of his thrillers as we watch a serial killer play cat-and-mouse with a seasoned detective and his rookie partner . The killer stages elaborate crime scenes based on the seven deadly sins. They have to stop him before he completes the cycle.
Perfect Blue was Kon's directorial debut, and it enjoyed international acclaim and analysis. It is a very modern look into the public's obsession with celebrities, particularly young female celebrities who are under constant scrutiny. Perfect Blue shows how dangerous public life can be, and it offers a very early look into the now-common phenomenon of parasocial relationships.
The ending to The Vanishing is incredibly eerie as the plot unfolds in such a way that the audience starts to feel like the hero: senses unraveling, unable to tell whether the mystery is close to being solved. The film deftly manipulates the audience along with its grieving protagonist, which is why it is so masterfully disturbing.
