What is my favourite type of subgenre? Give examples of films

I would say that my favourite subgenre of thrillers would be religious thrillers such as 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Angles and Demons'. I would say that they fall under a hybrid-gene category as they have elements of mystery and action aswell. I personally find that these films make you think, and you have to solve the problem along with the protagonist; which as a viewer makes you feel very involved. 

Compare three film posters from the same thriller subgenre

There are many similarities in these three film posters which fall under the subgenre of psychological thrillers. They all consist of people starting off into the distance with serious and sullen expression. The colour templates used are all dark and dull, two of which consist of red and orange hues which connote danger. All three use black quite heavily, as black is a colour which signifies death. 

The font on the film poster 'seven' and 'the sixth sense' are both very similiar as they look like child's handwriting, which creates a very sinister effect.
