Psychological Thrillers
Many people love to watch psychological thrillers because, like in many films they like to guess what will happen next.
The suspense created in this sub-genre of film often comes from two or more characters preying upon each other's minds. By doing that they could be playing deceptive mind games, or just try and destroy the other's mental state. However it can come from one character if they're trying to resolve conflicts in their own minds. It's usually a conflict that has happened to them.
Psychological thrillers are all about mind, conflict and the past. The 1972 film Sleuth is a good example of this type of sub-genre.
Sleuth is about a man called Andrew Wyke and a man called Milo Tindle, they are both in love with Andrew's wife, so this makes Milo her lover. Andrew wants to find away out of this but needs the help from Milo. But theres a big problem as they don't like each other, but they can't afford for the other one of them to get in trouble. In the plot the advantage for both characters shift, this keeps the film interesting and lively.
