Throughout the psychological thriller, there tends to be a few constant characters that seem to appear as concepts to a successful story, this includes:
- convicts,criminals or stalkers - such as in "one hour photo"
- People down on their luck/homeless
- Psychotic individual - Such as "The Shining"
- Odd or unusual characters that seem off yet relatable of sorts
In the horror storylines of the thriller genre there tends to be the inclusion of:
- femme-fatals and icy blondes that tend to be the victim of a serious event or are plagued by an evil spirit
- potentially betraying/cheating women. - Such as in"Sleeping with the enemy"
In the conspiracy based modern thriller there are more specific roles such as:
- Assassins - such as in "JFK"
- Innocent/on the run victims - Such as in "Hear no evil, see no evil"
- Terrorists
- Cops and police
The protagonists in thrillers tend to be either b
rave male (sometimes female such as in "atomic blonde") who seeks to restore an equilibrium within the story.
rave male (sometimes female such as in "atomic blonde") who seeks to restore an equilibrium within the story.
The opposite to this can be those antagonists ten to have a hidden identity, until the climax of the film and the uncovering of this progresses the film.
This tend to be the same for crime and action thrillers as well as in conspiracy and modern terrorist plot thrillers. Whereas in psychological thrillers and horror thrillers, this is more than often a female in which is plagued by and evil spirit/murderer who is out to disrupt the equilibrium of the story and potentially is never defeated only warded off.
