Thrillers with simialr ideas as our idea

As part of our research we have researched thrillers with similar ideas to our idea. These are some of the films:

The Blair Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project is a horror film that can also be classed as a thriller. This movie has a similar idea to ours as it is about a group of people who go into the woods, follow sounds to a abandoned house where people have been murdered. This is similar as our idea is that a girl follows discarded clothes and footprints to a abandoned shack/barn where she finds a dead body.
'Three film students go missing after travelling into the woods of Maryland to make a documentary about the local Blair Witch legend leaving only their footage behind' - IMDb
This movie is based on the legend of the Blair Witch. This legend is about how a Irish woman named Elly Kedward was accused of being a witch in Blair, Maryland in 1785. Elly Kedward was then banished to the woods (called the Black Hill Woods) in winter. It was assumed she had died from exposure. Then in 1786, Elly Kedward's accusers and half the children vanished from the town, making the other townspeople scared. They then abandoned the town.

The Lovely Bones

'Centers on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family - and her killer - from purgatory. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal' - IMDb

The Lovely Bones can be classed as a thriller. This film is similar to our idea because it focuses on a young girl and a murder. In 'The Lovely Bones' the girl is actually murdered and in our idea the girl finds a murder and sees that she is being targeted.
