Thriller Narrative - Group post


The story is about a boy who communicates with spirits that don't know they're dead seeks the help of a disheartened child psychologist.
The boy appears to be a very disturbed character, in that he has visions of the dead during his childhood.
The story starts in the present and reverts back to the past between the Psychologist (played by Bruce Willis) and the boy.
During the opening sequence, there is the shooting of the psychologist by the boy who is now a grown man, before he then commits suicide by shooting himself. It is through these elements, with the use of ammunition and hallucinatory visions that make 'The Sixth Sense' an effective thriller film


The film Maze runner is about a boy called Thomas who is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they're all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow "runners" for a shot at escape.

The boys that are up their with him have been there for many years and still haven't found a way to escape even though these people called runners go around the maze for hours every day, so chances of getting out look slim.


The main character Thomas is different than the others because we find out that he is one of the people that put all these boys in this 'maze'. When he becomes a runner he is allowed to go in the maze, but they are not in there alone. 

These creatures called Griever's roam the mazes at night after the walls have closed.One night the walls doesn't close, and this is the first time it has ever happened so everyone is in shock and scared, the creatures come in and kill many people and destroy their land.


The next day, the few that have survived split into two groups and one group tried to escape along with the main character Thomas. After an action filled ending with many twists, you think they are going to all make it out but then someone dies to save Thomas and saved by some people that look like they are in the army.


  • A police detective, a bank robber, and a high-power broker enter high-stakes negotiations after the criminal's brilliant heist spirals into a hostage situation.
  • Crime thrillers will on more occasions have a main sequence in which a main action scene takes place in which it turns into a stand off against the police.
  • Inside man is a film in which a group of men attempt to lock down a bank and then hold off the police with threats of killing all the hostages.
  • Sounds plays a big part in the inside man and any crime thriller as the diegetic sounds such as the smoke grenades and the clicking of the guns grips you to the screen and only add's suspense.
  • Within a crime thriller we are always made to believe that everything it just like a normal day with everyone oblivious that there is a bank heist going on, through camerawork we see fast transitions from inside and outside the bank.
