Good explanation of suspense.

Just what are the parameters for calling a film a “Suspense-Thriller” apart from a Horror film, a Supernatural-Thriller, or a Crime-Thriller? Without further adieu, here is my working definition (at least for this article’s sake) for the parameters of a Suspense-Thriller:

The Suspense-Thriller is a film whose storyline includes a slow burn of intense, GROUNDED IN REALITY ACTION that puts RICHLY DEVELOPED CHARACTERS IN PERIL as its priority, character(s) AN AUDIENCE CARES AND WORRIES ABOUT. As the audience gets to know and identify with this/these character(s) they begin to worry deeper and deeper about them, hoping against hope that they’ll emerge from their increasingly difficult (more often than not dangerous) predicament unharmed.

There will be anxiety producing action and excitement, often complimented by pressure relieving comic moments followed by terrifying developments that BORDER ON HORROR, without crossing over into that genre’s propensity for gore, or the action-adventure genre’s use of “over-the-top,” ungrounded, unrealistic thrills.

It’s good to keep in mind that while many genres use elements of the Suspense-Thriller parameter, the filmmaker’s over-arcing goal is usually to serve their chosen genre (such as the example given of Ridley Scott’s Sci-fi/Horror “Alien” or Nolan’s sublime Superhero-Crime-Action-Adventure hybrid “The Dark Knight Rises”). That said, with a true Suspense-Thriller, the filmmaker usually stays within the parameters of the Suspense-Thriller listed above.

Isn't that obvious?

IMDB need a suspense category imo. Only have thriller currently which includes both. hmm

Suspense is a feeling not a genre.

Suspense happens when a viewer knows more than a character they feel with.

Usually that happens in thrillers.

Finally a good trailer.

Imo Dunkirk is only going to be popular in England, There going to make it utmost dramatic, I have no hope from it. Waste of a year of us World War buffs outside England.

Im all for ww2 movies though, Can't wait.

But i can't expect it to be anything special considering I've read a lot about it, About its causes, Effects, About its implications, About how it basically fueled Nazi morale rather than the Allies lol (Even though i understand it was of utmost importance for Britain to remain in the war)

by RealGunner Fri Dec 09, 2016 10:16 pm

That might have been true if another director was making it. It's Nolan's film. He can make a film on recycling and it will be popular worldwide

by Nishankly Fri Dec 09, 2016 10:22 pm

Which is exactly why i expect to fail amongst ONLY ww buffs, Nolan is a newbie when it comes to World War movies. Its his first i think.

Steven Spielberg was making this and i'd have given this a 5/5 before the script was even written.

Snowpiercer (2007)

Eh.

Good ride. Garbage ending. The amount of plot holes in this film was borderline funny. But still, it was enjoyable. Good acting at least and the camera work wasn't bad considering how difficult it must have been.

6.7/10

by Firenze Sat Dec 10, 2016 2:38 am

you mean the movie from 2013? with chris evans

I enjoyed it tbh, wasn't amazing but the setting was interesting

stop watching average movies and get on the good stuff ffs

by RealGunner Sat Dec 10, 2016 2:41 am

Yea that one. Setting was great. One of the reason I enjoyed it too.

I'll watch the good stuff soon. Getting back in the mood now.
