Stereotype of a villain in a typical thriller

How villains should be in a typical thriller


· Villains need to look evil, so dress him/her in black. Black is traditionally represented as the color of evil.

· Villains usually behave in a sneaky manner to manipulate naive individuals to acquire wealth/sex etc. Ensure that the villain has minimal interaction with the general public or society at large. He is supposed to dole out diabolical orders to his minions to destroy some good man/good cause.

· Most villains are extremely cunning and manipulative, so maybe your villain knows a lot of things about weapons, gadgets, minds, and/or the society that he lives in. Villains almost always have an extraordinarily selfish motive to do their dastardly deeds.

· Most villains have evil grins pasted across their faces; it's best to give them an nasty expression. Traditionally, theatricality is extremely important in the art of movie-making. However, some avant-garde directors can direct villains to show zero expressions on their faces.

· A Villain works to destroy/kill the hero in most movies, so define a few tricks and traps that they hide up their sleeves.
