Images and film titles of Thriller Movies:

The Dark Knight
The image goes with the title of the film as it is quite dark as it is called the DARK knight. It also shows that there has been an attack on the building behind.
The Dark Knight - the film title insists that it may be a thriller because of the word 'dark', it makes you think why is the knight known as the 'dark' knight.

Psycho
The images used for the film cover doesn't really give you the idea that the film is a thriller. This might be because it was made in 1960 and it advertises the film more than making you want to watch it from the cover art like a more modern thriller film would do, such as the dark knight uses the main character - Bat Man as does Psycho but it shows you a part in the movie where the film is at a thrilling point in the movie, whereas Psycho doesnt, it quotes someone's opinion on the movie, which is usually done in newspapers or magazines.
The film title gives you an idea of what the film is going to about. It's known that a psycho is dangerous and scary to come across, this can also give you an idea that the film is a thriller.

The Silence of the Lambs
The cover art of the movie doesn't show you much about what the film is like once you have watched it. it's like you need to watch the movie to know what the cover art is showing you. For exaple the butterfly is seen throughout the movie, so knowing that the cover art makes sense to me. On the other hand, the film title doesn't make sense at all, even after watching the movie i still wonder why it is called 'The Silence of the Lambs'
