 THRILLER
SOFTWARE
The
Thriller is one of Hollywood's most popular forms because
it combines the criminality and surprise of the detective
form with the danger and pressure of horror.
A
good thriller puts the hero in danger early and never
lets up. While the thriller usually involves a main
character trying to find a murderer, it has very different
story beats than the detective genre. Each step is geared
toward wringing every last ounce of terror from the
hero and the audience.
The
thriller is also a popular form among writers of independent
films. In no other form can you get so much bang for
so little money. Casts are small, effects are nil. But
that also puts tremendous pressure on your ability to
plot. Whether you write for the Hollywood mainstream
or the independent, thrillers are tricky because you
have to create a lot of plot in a small space with just
a few characters.
The
THRILLER
SOFTWARE
solves that problem. With the Thriller Maps, you can
see exactly how to lay out the thriller story beats
for maximum plot in minimum space, how to create the
unique thriller hero (different from the detective),
how to avoid special thriller roadblocks that will throw
you off course, and keys for transcending the typical
thriller for a real knockout. Of course, Truby's Thriller
Course is there whenever you need help, and the three
thriller Examples - Silence of the Lambs, The Conversation,
Basic Instinct - give you invaluable insights about
how real thrillers work.

you want to write this popular movie form, the Thriller
