After conducting research on the history of thriller films, I came to the conclusion that thrillers have changed a fair amount over the years, and the most recent films even more so do in fact stick to the typical thriller genre conventions.
One of the first thriller films was silent and the second famous was released in sound but also silent. In the 1950's Hitchcock added Technicolor to the films, the films now included glamourous stars. Later on, Thriller films became more violent, viscous and explicit, they became more tense and had deeper story lines. Thriller's from this decade are mainly psychological ones that deal with obsession, domestic violence, revenge and mentally ill characters.
The most iconic directors for thriller films include the one and only Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Chris Nolan, David Fincher and Quentin Tarantino.
