How does Tarantino use thriller signifiers in this action adventure, martial arts film?
The Brides Burial
Opening to Kill Bill 2
Tarantino uses two intertextual references to Hitchcock’s 'Psycho' (1960)
Reference 1 - The soundtrack
Reference 2 - Close up of the bride driving her car, refers to Marion Crane leaving town with the stolen money.
Why?
To intensify the suspense To indicate the brides danger To flatter the audience - like a tribute to Hitchcock. The scene includes a lot of generic thriller conventions. The scene is set in an unglamorous, isolated location at night time - noir lighting. This makes the scene shadowy. The camera is at a low angle, meaning that the viewers are seeing things from the bride’s point of view. This also makes Bill's brother look more superior.
