This Oren Peli film is a classic psychological thriller which explores the supernatural and things that are just out of the norm e.g ghosts. A lot of thriller conventions are used to create the suspense and the tension needed,in order for the movie to be captivating and in the audience's interest. Above is the trailer of the movie which doesnt necessarily highlight the these conventions but show and highlight some of them. The dark lighting which is used represents darkness and the gothic theme some thrillers like to capture. Also it uses a lot of special effects to get the audience intrested in the film such the foot drag: where the female character is dragged by a robe but the person pulling the rope is wiped on the screen therefore gives the scene ghost like and sinister feel. This film is very different from other thrillers, as the two man characters shoot the film almost the whole film. They film themselves doing day to day activities and the camera is placed at an angle where the audience are able to see everything that goes on in the scene and this where all the special effects happen. This film is similar to others as it uses a lot of special effects, low key lighting and appropriate sound.
Overall, this film explores the different conventions in a thriller and also uses effective techniques to engage the audience.
