Similar Thriller Films


Gone Girl produced in 2014 & directed by David Fincher
  • 'Gone Girl' is an American psychological thriller film written by Gillian Flynn and directed by David Fincher. The narrative displays that the male characters wife affects his life as she disappeared. Furthermore, within the film the main focus is the characters feelings towards the loss of his wife, a man sees the spotlight turned on him when its suspected that he may not be innocent.  'Gone Girl' is a similar film to ours as the film holds a strong female lead who is represented as vulnerable near to the beginning of the film. Although, the narrative reflects a plot change as the female lead becomes the assassin therefore, she is then portrayed as the psychopath. 



Taken produced in 2008 & directed by Pierre Morel
  • 'Taken' is an action thriller genre film, written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen although, it is directed by Pierre Morel. The narrative of the film portrays that the protagonist, Liam Neeson, is a retired CIA agent who is travelling across Europe. Furthermore, he relies on his old and developed abilities and skills to save his estranged daughter who was kidnapped when she went on a holiday with friends to Paris. This film is similar to ours, as it reflects a thriller genre and as most sequences illustrates aspects of intense drama and violence it connects with our film as the narrative of 'The Next Target' portrays the female lead commits a murder.

The Gift produced in 2915 & directed by Joel Edgerton
  • 'The Gift' is a psychological horror-thriller film directed and written by Joel Edgerton. The plot explores a young married couple who's lives become dismantled and discomforted as they move to a new house. However, there lives become interrupted when an acquaintance from the husband's past becomes present and begins to bring them mysterious gifts which is significant as it leads to a horrifying secret to light after more than 20 years. This film closely links throughout the use of the narrative as it shows the character playing the role of the husband is getting mysterious gifts, this reflects he is being stalked. Although, in the narrative of our film it portrays that the female protagonist shows aspects of psychopathic features as she is getting stalked by the man however, there is a plot change at the end of the film as she ends up killing him. Another point to focus upon to reflect our film and 'The Gift' is similar is because the man is receiving gifts although, similarly to our film a close up shot is used to show the character is receiving an envelope which contains important information.
