Costumes

Costumes from thriller movies have a wide range. There are dark/sexual costumes such as those on Sin City, their are the average Joe's wearing common clothing to fit in to the crowds, there are combat styles. I find that the majority of clothing in thriller movies is tight fitting vest tops for the hunk or lead lady in the movies, i also find that there is always a slut...a woman who likes to show their sex appeal with their skin showing.
