Films That Are Similar To Ours

Our film is about a dangerous psychopath who is holding a girl hostage in a church. 

Taken
Taken was released in 2009 and was produced by the French production company; EuropaCorp. The film was directed by Pierre Morel.

Genre: action thriller

Plot: A retired CIA agent travels across Europe to save his estranged daughter who has been kidnapped while on a trip to Paris.

Characters:
Bryan Mills (the father & retired CIA agent)
Kim (the daughter)
Sam (the kidnapper)

Setting: Europe

This film is similar to ours because it is about a girl who is held hostage. The hostage victim is a prominent part of our thriller. Taken is an action thriller which is again similar tot the genre of our film. I would describe our thriller plot as being more of a psychological thriller however there are elements of action within it. 


Se7en
Se7en was released in 1995 and directed by David Fincher.

Genre: crime, mystery and thriller

Plot: Two detectives, a rookie and a veteran, hunt a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as his way of solving the mystery

Characters:
Somerset
Mills

Setting:
New York City

This film is similar to ours because it has the element of crime in it. In our thriller, the victim gets saved by a policeman, just like the detectives in Se7en. There is also an element of religion in Se7en because the detective uses the seven deadly sins to try and solve the crime and our sequence is set in a church. 

As Good As Dead
As Good As Dead was released in 2010 and directed by Johnathan Mossek .

Plot: Seeking revenge for the murder of their religious leader, fundamental loyalists kidnap and torture the man they believe responsible.

Genre: crime and thriller.

Characters:
Helen Kalahan
Ethan Belfrage.
Aaron
Jake

This film is similar to ours because it again has an element of mystery and crime within it. There is also the action element and the brutal side of our sequence that is similar to it as well.
