Conventions of a psychological thriller

- Elements of both drama and mystery
- Danger on a mental level initially rather than physical
- 2 or more characters preying on the minds of each other to create conflict or one solitary character in mental conflict with their own mind.
- characters try and discover their own purpose.
- characters have a fear or fascination with death
- Narrative - confusion of what is real and what is not
- Non-linea edits/flashbacks/montage.
