Saw, Taken, Manhunt (video game) and Strangers on a Train (book) are all similar media texts to our thriller. Saw was produced by Twisted Pictures in 2004, directed by James Wan and the main actor is Cary Elwes. Taken was made by 20th Century Fox in 2008, directed by Pieere Moral and starred Liam Neeson. The video game Manhunt was made in 2003 by Rockstar North and directed by Sam Houser. Strangers on a Train was written in 1950 by Patricia Highsmith. The film was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starred Farley Granger. They are similar because the basis of our thriller is on two men trapped in a room together which is similar to Saw and the use of the phone is symbolic in Taken as well as the idea of being kidnapped. Strangers on a Train is similar due to the intense relationship between the two males which would happen if our film was a feature length. The Manhunt video game is similar to our thriller due to the large amounts of controversy. However we have changed many of these conventions by making them are own including the phone on the floor and the two men fighting over it as well as the men not being scared. Additionally, there won't be much of a relationship between the two men (Stranger on a Train).
