Early
thriller movies appeared in the start of the 1920’s with Alfred hichcocks’s
first thrillers such as the lodger in 1926 witch was wrote on the shocking jack
ripper story. More films followed such as blackmail in 1929. During the period
from 1925 and 1935 6 films where made relating to the thriller genre. Spy films
where introduced in 1928 with films such as fritz langs spies that was about
criminal spy characters and action in the film these kind of films allowed and
opened the floor for the james bond movies we see now that use very similar
designs to the first creations of this type of film. Fritz lang went on to
create more films based on and about serial killers and criminal actions
involving preying on children witch are quite rare in todays thriller movies.
other british directors followed such as walter forde , victor saville and
George a cooper all in the same period of time created there own version of
thriller movies and they made on average 6 movies each with some making nine.
While hitchcocks films seemed to follow purpose and a britsh trend because of
his patch in to making suspence type film witch include films such as the man
who new so much in 1934 he was one of
the first dirctors to put in a film many different types of genre and some how
link them into one story. In the 1940’s Hitchcock went on to create more films
even picking up an award for his 1940 film Rebecca there where films every year
the 50s all following the same style of film and basing it on certain non
fictional storys and also fictional and creative ideas and designs. The
1950/60’s showed the more glamious side to the films where the movies included
many famous stars and it was the first time the movies where shot in
technicolour witch in a sence re invented the way in whitch directors produced
the films. Stars like Marilyn Monroe and henry Hathaway, ralph meeker where all
involved in making thrill movies in the 50’s. it was the 70’s and 80’s that saw
the up step up in the making of these movies introducing more adult content
compared to the soft detective work in past movies, violence and explicit
materials where used in films like frenzy in 1972 and duel in 1971. 90’s saw
rob reiners misery that was based on a book introducing spy and conspiracys
into the story line of thrillers. Modern day thrillers have come a long way
from the early day types this has been possible because over the years
directors have been willing to try new things and experiment with different
layouts and storys. Thriller movies have introduced stars of today like jude
law and tom cruise and even to day is a very popular genre that includes gore,
violence ,brutality ,terror and shock and keeping the viewer tence. Todays
thrillers use a variety of elements and vairious people to create shock and
action. Directors use lots of special effects such as diffrent6 camera angles
and cameras. Pryrotechnics and other explosion and fire effects and also
computer generateted effects.
the history task was too research in detail the genre of thriller and the history and where it came from. I included multiple decades in my findings that really shows what was happening and how the type of genre was developing and where it is today.
