- A catchy slogan in which the reader will automatically remember.
- They subtly refer to the plot/theme of the film.
- Usually quite short taglines e.g. The killer is closer than you think.
- The taglines can usually only make sense once the film has been seen.
Examples of Psychological Thriller Taglines:
- To enter the mind of a killer she must challenge the mind of a mad man (Silence of the Lambs).
- May the silence be broken (Silence of the Lambs).
- Smart Girls. Pretty Girls. Missing Girls (Kiss the Girls).
- Heads will Roll (Sleepy Hollow).
- What's eating you? (Jeepers Creepers)
- There's nothing more dangerous than a familiar face (One Hour Photo).
- Seven deadly sins. Seven ways to die. (Se7en).
- Mischief. Mayhem. Soap. (Fight Club)
- I think my mask of sanity is about to slip (American Psycho).
From all of the examples of taglines I have chosen from psychological thrillers, they all relate to something to do with death. Most of these films will include psycho people who enter into the lives of others and make their lives hell. The taglines therefore relate to the psychos and how they will act during the film. The taglines are similar as they are to do with the ways in which somebody will indulge in pain and torture.
