The lighting in a conventional thriller is often subtle. It doesn't necessarily scream 'the dark is scary' however it does this as said before in a subtle way. There is little light however just enough, often there is a slight grey tone to scene which adds to the 'grunge' feel about it, making the audience subconsciously identify something is wrong. The lighting obviously must differ from scene to scene however if you look closely there is hardly ever a 'normal' light, it will be in extremes...Bright and white can often be seen, this i feel gives it the effect of almost an asylum, exposes everything which is there however the audience still know something is wrong, which adds to the effect and suspense as they can't quite pinpoint what it is. The second type of lighting which is often used is spot light which commonly is used to illuminate half of a characters face portraying they may have a split personality or that they are hiding something. Note below a match is used to illuminate the scene, obviously not all the light is from the match however using a flame slightly adds to the danger and the striking of the match adds to the tension All of the above can be seen in the following video...
