Titles

In most thrillers the title clearly indicates the genre, the topic, possibly the medical condition of the main character. In our case we are going to be creating a psychological thriller so the focus will be on mental threat. To create a realistic title I have collected a list of different psychological thrillers below.
  • Se7en - seven days/seven murders, psychological threat using numbers or counting down.
  • Vertigo - antagonist suffers from vertigo where you feel dizzy.
  • Psycho - indicates the antagonist is a psycho.
  • The Prestige - indicates the magic/illusion themes of the film.
  • The Sixth Sense - an unnatural human sense which is the ability to talk to the dead.

To keep our film inline with psychological thriller it is important to have mental condition for a kidnapper antagonist, and also for then the have a death obsession. Therefore we are initially considering that our main character has the medical condition Cotard Syndrome, where they believe that they are dead.

Following this thought the working title will be "Life After Death".
