The british thriller

when it comes to British thrillers are elements they seem to be very different. for one thing when it comes to horror thrillers there would be alot of gore and death. also the locations are usually dirty and dingy for example dark alleys or old bridges.

The thrillers harry brown and dead mans shoes both fit into these elements. dead mans shoes(psychological/action thriller):
  • masked killer
  • dirty dingy flats
  • damp weather
  • endless fields
  • gore and blood innovative murder
  • twists in the story
harry brown (crime thriller)
  • gangs and violence
  • guns
  • dark alleyways and bridges
  • old estates
  • death and knifes
  • vulnerable elderly victims
  • misread teenagers/ dangerous aggressive teens
  • canals (filthy)
To give my thriller British identity i will use certain significant landmarks like estates or tube stations. also the use of alleyways would be possible. a scene form harry brown which inspires my location ideas is the scene shot in the alleyway where harry brown kills the teenagers. this was inspiring because you could not see round the dark corners  and neither could the audience creating suspense and fear which is something that i want my audience to feel.
