Conventions
A typical convention in a thriller film is that they contain twists. A good example of this would be the Sixth Sense. In this film, a psychologist, Dr. Malcolm Crowe (Bruce Willis) is dedicated to a patient who sees dead people, only to find out that in the end of the film he was dead himself and his patient Cole (Haley Joel Osment) was helping him complete his unfinished business and leave the land of the living.
Another convention in thriller films is that there's action. There isn't too much action or the film would be an action film, but there has to be an action element in the film to "thrill" audiences. An example of this would be the film Se7en where in the end scene where Detective David Mills (Brad Pitt) shoots Jon Doe (Kevin Spacey) after he learns that Jon Doe killed his pregnant wife.
