Thriller titles

Thriller titles:


This title opening is a great exam of a modern thriller opening as it is mysterious seemingly dark and does not tell you much about the actual film itself while giving you enough to keep you interested and want to continue watching the actual movie itself.
All we see during the opening really is a hand that is seemingly scraping dead skin off the fingertips or keeping them clean however the curious thing about the seemingly harmless activity is the fact that he/she is using a razor-blade of all the available tools to clean his hand with which is a bit suspicious as when we think about  razor blade we normally think about it cutting into something so this will motivate us to watch the movie as we will want to find out why that razor blade seems to be so significant during the opening scene.
The opening also seems to be mostly based around numbers and seemingly information such as in books and articles, we will also want to continue watching in order to find out what the big deal with all this information is as the man seems to be crossing out specific words and even roping together pieces of article.
The title sequence does a great job at keeping the audience wondering and watching without giving away too much or too little and risking driving away the audience from the movie and making people want to leave due to either boredom or knowing too much about the movie without actually watching it,
