After analysing 21 existing taglines for thriller films, I have found many similarities and conventions which I will consider and use for my potential taglines. What I have discovered is that many taglines are all in capitals. This is so that they stand out and stick with the audience. Another common feature is that there is a lot of direct reference to the audience by using the word "you". The taglines give very little information about the film but they give just enough information so that audience can get a gist of what is to come.
- The Silence of the Lambs - To enter the mind of a killer she must challenge the mind of a madmen
- Seven - Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die
- The Usual Suspects - Five criminals. One line up. No coincidence
- The Sixth Sense - NOT EVERY GIFT IS A BLESSING
- Shutter Island - SOME PLACES NEVER LET YOU GO
- Psycho - A new and all together different screen excitement!!!
- The Prestige - ARE YOU WATCHING CLOSELY?
- The Departed - COPS OR CRIMINALS. WHEN YOU'RE FACING A LOADED GUN WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
- No Country for Old Men - THERE ARE NO CLEAN GETAWAYS
- Sin City - THERE IS NO JUSTICE WITHOUT SIN
- Bourne Supremacy - THEY SHOULD HAVE LEFT HIM ALONE
- Bourne Ultimatum - THIS SUMMER JASON BOURNE COMES HOME
- The Maze Runner - GET READY TO RUN
- The Purge: Anarchy - WELCOME TO AMERICA WHERE ONE NIGHT A YEAR ALL CRIME IS LEGAL
- The Cabin in the Woods - You think you know the story
- Inception - YOUR MIND IS THE SCENE OF THE CRIME
- Memento - SOME MEMORIES ARE BEST FORGOTTEN
- The Machinist - How Do You Wake Up From A Nightmare When You're Not Asleep?
