Final Thriller Idea

We needed to change our idea because we realised that the idea with the old house and the two teenagers mysteriously coming into the creepy house without a reason is very stereotypical. Therefore we thought that we should change it into more like a thriller movie. We wanted it more abstract and not so specific, not being very narrative driven. Including the special forces and the woman who is the boss we found out the way to develop a crime movie, but also not changing the idea with the blind spot and the photos. The audience will  not be able to understand and get an explanation about the mysterious photos and the blind spot. You never get to see the stalker because we wanted it not so specific and start with an enigma that needs to be solved.

Similar Thriller/Horror/TV Drama

Horror: "The Others"

The psychological horror "The Others" is similar to our Thriller/Horror in terms of the supernatural ghostlike story because in our Thriller/Horror nobody knows who the mysterious masked man is and how is possible that you see old pictures of the people who come in (time-travelling). The mood and the stalking part are also similar because Grace and her children are thought to live in a house with ghosts. The house is also similar to our current choice. It creates suspense and the light is spare.


TV Drama Series: "One Three Hill"

There is a bit in the TV Drama where Peyton, one of the main characters, is stalked by Jake, a psycho who pretends to be her brother. He is just a stranger who has listened to her broadcast and knows everything about her. The similarity is when she finds out that he has taken an enormous amount of pictures of her and has sticked them on his wall. He is obssesed by her and wants to force her to be with him.
