- clever/ unusual plots
- questions reality- even the audience aren't sure what to believe
- unusual heroes- everyday characters
- themes are often dark
- memory/ dreams etc- focusses on one
- characters have a fascination with death
- typical narrative stricture not used
- parallel edits are common
- use of flashbacks
- characters in conflict with their own mind
- two characters preying on each others minds danger in mental level rather than physical level
