Summary of how psychological thrillers have developed over time
How psychological thriller will develop in the future

The Lodger

·        -  Mysterious character
·         - Female victim
·         - Suspense
·         - Suspicious activity

Psychological thrillers started with a quite predictable story line with a strange person. There is also suspicious activity happening throughout.  These movies all began in black and white as well as being silent films, and quite simple not too many special effects. However in 1970 we started to see psychological develop the film started to show in colour. The story lines also started to develop into something which was less predictable. In the 1980s the started to tamper with the story lines and in the 90s they started to break the female victim stereotypes. Since then the visual effects have improved

In the future I believe that psychological thrillers will start to use animals and more paranormal activity. I believe they may also bring the idea of robots and aliens. I also believe in the future they may go back in some sense as they may start filming in black and white to add to the psychological effect. They may start using more advanced gadgets to add to the mind games segment of psychological thrillers.
