Psychological thriller is a fictional thriller story which emphasises the psychology of its characters and their unstable emotional states. Psychological thrillers often incorporate elements of mystery, drama, action, and horror, particularly psychological horror.
Girl, Interrupted
Our film is similar to the film "Girl, Interrupted" due to the setting of a mental institution and the same idea of mental health within women. We have only female characters in our film in which we have one girl who isn't mentally stable, however we don't want to make it too similar to the film in which we have based it to be more physiological and have a different plot.
"In 1967, 19-year-old Susanna (Winona Ryder) feels that "reality is becoming too dense" and is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. The doctor suggests to her parents that she be committed to the Claymore Hospital, and she spends the next 18 months struggling with her troubled psyche and the bizarre world of the institution. Girl, Interrupted was based on the autobiography of Susanna Kaysen, who really did spend a year-and-a-half in the McLean Psychiatric Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts"
The Silence of the LambsOur film has elements that are similar to The silence of the lambs as it is in the same genre of Psychological thriller. The element of murder is similar to our storyline as we have a mental sister that ends up killing her own mother. I feel this film is influential to our film as it helps us with typical elements which may be featured in this kind of genre. Such as characters, iconography and themes.
