Phonebooth

Storyline:

"A slick New York publicist who picks up a ringing receiver in a phone booth

 is told that if he hangs up, he'll be killed... and the little red light from a laser rifle sight is proof that the caller isn't kidding"

Phonebooth in particular does not play towards the conventional codes. It avoids darkness and shadow, thereby the only way to link it to standard conventions, is to say that you view the narrative from the killers point of view. The film is made to make the viewer feel sorry for the male protagonist, by showing the use of flashback and quick passed editing. As this thriller doesn’t include the main conventions, in various ways, it may not be classed as a thriller, but instead classed as an psychological thriller, as it plays with the viewer’s mind. 

The film 'Photobooth' has a film certificate of 15. The reason towards this is because it portrays clips and images of Sex & Nudity, Violence & Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking and frightening and intense scenes. 

'PhoneBooth' has an estimate proximity budget of $13,000,000. This means that a lot of expenditure has been taken place in this movie, to make it as successful as it is.
