Inspiring and influential directors

Our primary source of inspirations were productions like se7en, memento, derailed and LOST. We consider them as the best movies with thriller elements we saw so far. They are examples of successful genre mixture, for example LOST is a adventure thriller, Se7en is crime thriller. We have noticed that adding the thriller conventions can dramatically improve the movie's style and engage viewers even more. However those and many more movies would not become the icons without directors that we want to focus on in this post. The director of LOST is J.J. Abrams, young however experienced director and producer. By his filmography we can infer that he is a incredible emotion builder. Movies like Armageddon, Cloverfield and Forever Young touched hearts of thousands people around the world keeping them stunned until the end subtitles. Except Lost and Joy Ride, his movies do not have much to do with thriller genre but if we watch LOST, if we step into dangerous however beautiful island and stay there for longer we will certainly notice all his skills from other movies combined into one super-production that in addition is breathtaking thriller that whole world admires. Moreover high class of genre mixture is a great example to follow and engages fans of all genres.
Next director is David Fincher
Known for his dark and stylish thrillers, such as
Seven(1995), The Game (1997), Fight Club (1999), Panic Room (2002), and Zodiac (2007).
His first and a biggest success was Seven that grossed hundreds millions dollars worldwide, Seven was a commercial success and received positive reviews from the critics.
As crime thriller, the protagonists and viewers are never fully sure what is happening. Therefore suspension never disappears.
Although he has so far directed only a handful of feature films, David Fincher has quickly become one of Hollywood's most influential directors and a common name in many film fans vocabulary. Most moviegoers became familiar with the name David Fincher after the release of Alien 3, hitting harsh criticism by critics and fans alike. More determined than ever, Fincher approached his next project for New Line Cinema, and dove into the abyss of the criminal psyche, creating one of the most oppressive and morbid thrillers Hollywood had ever seen - Se7en.
