Pyschological Thriller Analysis

This genre often incorporates elements from the mystery and Drama genre in addition to the typical traits of the thriller genre. Also, occasionally this genre will border into the also wide-ranging Horror genre.

Generally, thrillers focus on plot over character and thus emphasize intense, physical action over the character. Psychological thrillers tend to reverse this to a certain degree, emphasizing the characters just as much, if not more than the plot.

The suspense in a Psychological thriller is often created by characters playing with the main character's emotions and mind, or it could just as easily be the main character's mental health deteriorating.

A great example of a Psychological Thriller is 'The Butterfly Effect'
