What do you like about thrillers?
I like the fact that most of the thrillers are different to other movie’s .thrillers bring fear and anticipation in us in a different way than other movies. I also like the fact that most thrillers have twists in the end which i really look forward to seeing in movies because if it’s the same old ending the movie’s become predictable and really boring. I also like the fact that thrillers are not only horrors like others think there are psychological thrillers which are my favourite because they make you think about what happens.
What is your favourite thriller and why?
My favourite thriller at the moment is ‘’Saw’’. The first one was by far the best as it really made me evaluate my life after watching it. I do not think that the sequels lived up to the first one as they tried to make them similar but different to the first one but did not succeed in doing so. Also the publicity and the hype about the last movie caused them to make more and more which were then not as good as the first. The reason i like ‘’saw ‘’ in particular because there was gruesome murders that were not expected and also tension and anticipation in most of the film especially at the end when you don’t know whether they would live or die.
What do you find particularly scary or thrilling in a thriller?
Well I seem to be more scared of the unusual things in the thrillers. While most people will find gruesome and untimely deaths in thrillers scary I find them funny. I was more afraid of the little doll on the bike in ‘’saw’’ as its eyes seems to stare into my soul. The reason being so is that because you try to remind yourself that it is just a movie you still get captivated and think that is reality. Another movie which scared me senseless was ‘’chucky’’ it especially creped me out as I had a doll which was about the same size as chucky at the time and every time I went to sleep I used to think it would come to life and kill me *laughs* I think that if the thriller is realistic and can happen in everyday life especially if it relates to you it will scare you more.
If you were to make a thriller who/what would you star as the monster/bad person?
Hhhhmmmmm, I think most thrillers are middle age men killing people, but if i was to make a thriller I would make it completely different like add something really unexpected as the killer like a spoon or some sort of animal like a horse. I think that the spoon would defiantly surprise viewers and if done properly can really make the audience fear there cutlery *laughs* but on a serious note something unusual and scary that has never been done before.
Do you prefer thrillers to have a happy ending?
No way, happy ending are boring especially if it’s a thriller/ horror their needs to be excitement and death or a twist at the end. Otherwise thrillers will not give a thrill as they will be predictable.

What do you like about thrillers?
I used to be a big fan of thrillers when I was a little boy but now I’m older they don’t thrill me and scare me so you could say that I don’t like thrillers . If I had to pick something I would say I like all the killings.
Anything else?
I like the fact that all the girls die first and all the guys live and kill everyone.
What is your favourite thriller and why?
My favourite thriller is the godfather. I love all that kind of stuff like gangster mafia killings and that and how the guy put a horse’s head in the other guys bed to teach him a lesson. If all thriller movies were like that I would watch them more. I especially hate all the confusing thrillers like ‘’inception’’ it made no sense and was really boring the only good bit was the bit in the car when they all got shot at.
What do you find particularly scary or thrilling in a thriller?
I’m a grown boy now so I don’t really find a lot of things scary especially movie’s because I know there not real. The only one that kind of scared me was paranormal activity because apparently it was based on a true story and there were really jumpy bits in it like at the end when the boyfriend’s body is chucked at the screen. I totally didn’t expect that. We went to watch it in the dark as well so by the time we got out the cinema it was like past midnight totally dark and we had to walk all the way home because the busses and trains weren’t working it was only like a half hour walk but there was like 5 boys all together and we were all scared.
If you were to make a thriller who/what would you star as the monster/bad person?
I would star myself because I am a young black man it would be totally stereotypical and everyone would expect that which I guess would get rid of the element of surprise. But I would like film it in the ghetto with like all the gangs and stuff because no one has done that before and I think loads of people like me like people from my generation would come and watch it because it can relate to them. The ghetto is a scary place so why not film a thriller there right, like all the thrillers are like in haunted castles and places like that which are already really scary like the ghetto. I think that it would be a really good film and loads of people will come and watch it.
Do you prefer thrillers to have a happy ending?
Naaaahhh happy endings are like for comedy’s and romance movies and stuff why would you have a happy ending in a thriller that’s just so dead. If I made a thriller in my ending everyone die’s, the good person, the bad person, people walking by they all die. That would be the best ending to a movie I think.
Thank you for your time.
