THRILLER Autumn, Eduarda, Anastasia, Kristian

SEQUENCE SUMMARY The plotline follows that a well-groomed man is getting himself prepared as if going to work or a night out with gestures such as straightening his tie and buttoning his shirt. Starting this with a close-up and slowly zooming out to reveal a woman’s legs sprawled across him in fishnet tights and high heels, his phone begins to ring and it is his wife that is calling him, when this happens it is suggested to the audience that he is an unfaithful man to his wife, he excuses himself by saying “sorry I didn’t come home last night babe I was caught up with work”. He then proceeds to stand up and kneel on the floor next to her grasping her hand and performing very unusual actions such as smelling her wrist and feeling her hand against his face. As this takes place he begins to speak to his young son over the phone. He begins to stroke the woman’s hair and her head tilts towards the camera and it is revealed she has in fact had her throat slit by this man and she is dead, revealing a plot twist to keep the audience on their toes and keeping both tension and surprise alive. Towards the end he erases any traces of her identity by removing teeth and fingernails before disposing of her completely to end the thriller.

CONTINUES The film continues to follow the life of the man, that we later discover to be a psychotic serial killer, that goes about killing his sexual affairs from the night before, which are mostly blonde women that we later on discover is due to his obsession with their hair colour that reminds him of the first girl he has ever fallen in love with, when he was a child, but whom eventually humiliated him by rejecting his love.

His whole obsession is driven by revenge and self satisfaction that he achieves by killing women that resemble her.

We also find out that the original girl he first fell in love with, turned out to be his wife. Which is what strikes the audience at the end of the movie, because we are left unsure of what will happen to her.

The whole question is why does he kill women that look like his wife, but not the wife herself? The film ends with the question unanswered. This shows his insanity.

HOW THE MOVIE CONTINUES The movie plot continues on to revel that the psychotic man is in fact an ex spy that got hold of valuable information that indicated that the woman he murdered was going to expose the organisation with security secrets that go high up in the service. He murders her to prevent the spread of information but she is actually no more than an ordinary civilian so he goes into hiding and discovers that his years of service have made him insane, but will his insanity be used to bring justice to the bad guy in a mission that no sane man can accept. He desperately tries to prevent his wife from discovering both his past and his future plans with the organisation, but when she takes a step too close to revealing the truth, will it become a rescue mission to save a loved one or betrayal to save the company.
