Genre Research: locations

In psychological thrillers the location is also a way to show realism as they are normal places, this can add to the way it makes people feel as it seems as if it shouldn't happen there as it could happen to anyone. Although sometimes in films they can provide a realism that is over theatrical and shows some stereotype of where it is set, it comes up a lot if the film is set in the countryside or if it is set in a certain country or area.
