Conventional Character Used in Thriller Films
An example of a conventional character of the thriller genre is Ester from the film 'Orphan' (Dir. Jaume Collet-Serra, 2009). The film has a sub-genre of mystery which is yet again conventional to have in a thriller genre. Throughout the film the audience sees a seemingly angelic orphan named Esther. However, she exhibits an unforeseen devilish streak shortly after arriving at her new home. Once she's welcomed into a new family home, she begins to display some deeply unsettling behaviour and shows that she is pure evil.
