Notable Thriller Directors

ALFRED HITCHCOCK
Responsible for such great films as Psycho, Vertigo, The Birds, North by Northwest, Rear Window and Dial M for Murder. Hitchcock defined the genre, with incredible plot twists like in Psycho and implementation of innovative camera shots like in Vertigo. Hitchcock paved the future for thriller films, all pre-1970s.

QUENTIN TARANTINO
Started out in short films and minor television series, but broke through in the 90's with acclaimed thriller films such as Reservoir Dogs, From Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown. and the monumental 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
Quentin continues to make critically acclaimed films one after the other into the 2000's with Kill Bill Volumes 1&2 and the more recent Inglorious Basterds. Quentin, much like Alfred Hitchcock is highly respected for his innovative film making and incredible storylines. He also features cameo roles in his own films as major characters.
MARTIN SCORSESE 
Famous for such influential greats as Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Casino and Gangs of New York. For a man who looks like a jokeshop disguise, his films are anything but. Typically featuring gangsters, drug deals and the sort, Scorsese has a distinct style of film making, much like the previous two directors and cannot be replicated. He continues to put out high-grossing films such as The Aviator, Shutter Island and The Departed. His more recent works greatly differ in terms of content to his previous accomplishments, but consistently wow audiences and presents originality in his work.
