Researching thrillers

The Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly Effect is a 2004 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber. The title refers to the butterfly effect, a popular metaphor for the principle in chaos theory that in any dynamic system, small initial differences may over time lead to large unforeseen consequences. The film draws heavily on flashbacks and presents several alternate present day outcomes as Evan attempts to change the past, before settling on a final outcome. It contains aspects of a romance, like I will use when i create my thriller. 
































The Number 23
The Number 23 is a 2007 American psychological thriller film directed by Joel Schumacher. The plot involves an obsession with the 23 enigma, an esoteric belief that all incidents and events are directly connected to the number 23. This may relate to my thriller, as I'm planning on having the main male character to go mad, like the character Walter Sparrow does in this film. I think it leads to good suspense because the audience doesn't trust the character, but we know what they're going through. This can lead to an unexpected plot ending. It also involves the colour red on an important object (the book) where as, in my thriller I am going to use the colour red on a different object, such as a coat so it stands out and represents danger.
